City to make improvements to Father Marinaro Park

The city of Butler is joining the ranks of municipalities applying for the annual $10,000 matching funds grant through the Butler County Parks Renovation Program.

City Council discussed making improvements to Father Marinaro Park at Thursday’s forum meeting. The proposed improvements include installing a new baseball field, basketball court, parking lot and a new playground at the park.

Councilman Don Shearer said the project is estimated to cost $228,000. The county grant would supply $7,500 to the city.

“We were counting on that $7,500 from the county as a portion of the match grant,” Shearer said. “We match $2,500 on a basis for helping with upkeep of the parks. Council last year earmarked this grant to go towards matching funds for Father Marinaro (Park).”
