The City of Kalona is applying for a grant that would finance additional improvements to the town park.
Kalona City Park underwent a $60,000 renovation last year that included the installation of new equipment and surfacing. The city recently submitted an application for $20,000 to the Washington County Riverboat Foundation. The deadline for the foundation’s spring grants was Thursday. The money would be used to install more benches, put in a volleyball court and add picnic tables and fire pits to the park’s campground sites. The total cost of the project is estimated to be over $25,000.
