The
City of Fall River was one of
five Southeastern Massachusetts communities awarded
grants for investments in parks, open space and recreation improvements
by the Patrick Administration. The PARC
Program was established in 1977 to assist cities and towns in
acquiring and developing land for park and outdoor recreation purposes.
Communities with up-to-date Open
space and Recreation Plans were eligible to apply. Fall River received
$264,691
to include the installation of new basketball courts at Abbott Court,
Kennedy, Maplewood, North and Ruggles Parks throughout the City.
"We've been working with our state delegation, working with our
Governor to make sure that we're doing al that we can to improve our parks
and playgrounds," said Mayor
William Flanagan at the press event on December 2, 2014 to announce
the award of the funds. Click here for
