City Of Mobile Cuts Ribbon On Mill Street Park

Mayor Sandy Stimpson and Mobile City Councilman Cory Penn recently cut the ribbon on the new playground at Mill Street Park. This new playground is the result of several months of work and collaboration to create a unique space for inclusive play and recreation. The playground has already been recognized as part of PlayCore’s National Demonstration Site Program because it caters to children of all ages and abilities, prioritizes inclusivity for children with adaptive needs and promotes imaginative play, exercise and social interaction. The project was funded with $358,000 from the City of Mobile’s Capital Improvement Program with Penn’s support. In addition to the new playground, the project improved parking at Mill Street Park and added a walking trail around the property that will eventually connect to the Three Mile Creek Greenway Trail. Harris Contracting Services performed the work for this project with consulting support from Leib Engineering.
