The Maryville Parks and Recreation Advisory Board met March 17, and approved updating park signage with the current logo. New signage will be placed at the entrance of all parks.
The board also approved a bid from Acco Unlimited Corporation, Johnston, IA, for sand filters for Thomson Splash ‘N’ Play. The sand filters will last longer, and will also have electronic readings that can be sent to the health department at request. The total cost will be $16,899. Also approved by the board was moving forward with Kimley-Horn & Associates, Kansas City, for transitioning the Beal Park tennis courts to pickleball courts. These items will need approval by city council.
