MEDINA – A Boy Scout in Troop 28 in Medina has the Village Board’s permission to give the playground equipment at Gulf Street Park a fresh coat of paint.
Matthew Jacobs met with the board last week and said he will lead a group of scouts in sprucing up the equipment. Jacobs said some of the equipment may be sanded to get rid of rusty spots.
The teeter-totter, “The Spider” and some monkey bars at Gulf Street Park will be painted red, green and blue.
Jacobs said the project will help him earn his Life Rank through the Boy Scouts. He expects the work will be done by next June.
“We’re very thankful you’re taking on this job and investing in our community,” Village Trustee Marguerite Sherman said.
Gulf Street Park recently added a nine-hole disc golf course. That has brought more people to the park. Jason Watts, the DPW superintendent, said some of the playground equipment may be relocated away from the disc golf course.
