Washington, D.C. – Congressman Pete Visclosky today announced that the Fowler Park Board will receive a $133,737.09 grant from the National Park Service’s Land and Water Conservation Fund to replace the Fowler Park pool.
“A new and improved Fowler Park pool will be a great resource for local residents,” said Visclosky. “Not only will it provide recreation for people of all ages, but it will improve the quality of life in Fowler, which in turn improves economic opportunities.”
The grant will help the Fowler Park Board replace the existing pool, which is outdated and in disrepair, by constructing a new pool in the same footprint. The new pool, which will feature a water slide, will conserve water that is presently being lost due to the deterioration of the current pool. Additionally, the grant will support improvements to the pool’s immediate surroundings, such as the worn surface surrounding the pool and the addition of an Americans with Disabilities Act compliant ramp to improve access for all people. |
