Washington County Commissioners dedicated a new Shelter 10 in Mingo Creek County Park. Commissioners were proud to display the newly rebuilt shelter and several other attractions throughout the park on Wednesday afternoon. A $1.4 million dollar investment into the park not only brought about the shelter renovation, but the refurbishing of the Henry House and the rebuilding of the Sumney Log House. A 9 hole par 3 disc golf course was built for adult exercise, as was a new playground on the Maintenance Hill play area. The new playground is built to allow children of all abilities the option to play. Ramp access and wheel chair accessible components highlight the new playground. Commissioner Chairwoman Diana Irey-Vaughn is excited to bring the park renovations to citizens to enjoy for years to come. Commissioner Larry Maggi calls the park a jewel in the county. And Commissioner Nick Sherman is particularly pleased with the playground. The park was paid for by funds generated by a natural gas lease signed with Range Resources.
