City Council Approves Playground Revitalization.
Councilman Bruce Richins presented a proposal by Game Time to replace and re-vitalize the playground at the Harrisville City Park which is in need of repair. Since Game Time is providing a matching $47,000.00 "grant" for financial assistance, the City Council felt that now is a good opportunity to replace playground equipment with newer equipment of a different style.
