Mayor Angela Sword Heath, center, dedicates the new playground in Library Square in downtown Adrian on Nov. 5.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

ADRIAN \u2014 A new playground in Library Square, located just behind the Adrian District Library in downtown Adrian, was dedicated on Nov. 5.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clustered around one larger play structure in the middle of the playground are several smaller installations, including outdoor musical instruments, a “Hungry Hungry Caterpillar,” and an installation designed for children who want a quieter space. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funding for the project came from the enhancement grant that the city received in a state budget earmark a few years ago. The construction contract, in the amount of $150,000, was awarded in June to Great Lakes Recreation of Holland, Michigan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The city also dedicated a mural in the 100 block of North Main Street, on the side of Maumee Street Taproom and Kitchen. Both projects are part of a larger effort to improve the appeal of Adrian’s downtown district.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
