Everett’s could receive a $345,000 renovation if the City Council approves the project.

According to a council summary reported by The Everett Herald, the park, at Colby Avenue and 13th Street, is due for an upgrade. It was built in 2007.

The plans include demolishing the current playground, installing new equipment, and expanding the play area. Options include swings, new turf surfacing, a chain-link fence, and new benches. The arbor and gazebo will remain.
