KEA'AU
Park playground blessing ceremony set for today

New playground equipment at Herbert C. Shipman Park in Kea'au will be blessed in a public ceremony at 10 a.m. today.

The Department of Parks and Recreation project includes separate play equipment for toddlers and older children, a climbing wall and a swing set. The entire playground has a safety surface made of recycled rubber.

Site Engineering Inc. was the contractor for the $258,400 playground. The project included disabled-access walkway improvements that cost an additional $32,412.

Refreshments at the blessing will be provided by W.H. Shipman Ltd. and Puna Fresh Foods.
