After four months of renovations, Aline McWhite Park’s grand reopening was 10 a.m. Thursday, May 22. The park is at 240 E. Hal McRae Blvd. in Avon Park.
The Community Redevelopment Agency (CRA) allocated $50,000 toward the park’s renovations that include a resurfaced basketball court, new basketball poles, backboards and rims.
“I am excited this beloved park is being upgraded,” Avon Park City Manager Dr. Danielle Kelly said. “These improvements are more than cosmetic. They’re an investment in the community’s health, happiness, and future.
