Situated in an area once fraught with illegal activity and a disproportionately high number of police service calls, Ziegler Park is now a destination for local residents and their children. Financed with CDF’s New Markets Tax Credits, the renovation/expansion included security and overall facility improvements as well as installation of a new deep-water swimming pool. Other features include new basketball courts, a multi-use recreation field and a playground.
