Houston Park gets an upgrade!

Last Updated 3/8/2024 • Posted in Revitalization Efforts

Just in time for spring, the City of Madisonville recently completed installation on a brand-new playground and splashpad at Houston Park, in downtown, made possible through the generous support of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) grant funds. This transformative project reflects the city's commitment to providing a vibrant and inclusive space for children to play, learn, and create cherished memories. The addition of this much needed, modern playground and splashpad enhances the recreational offerings of Houston Park, which also includes a basketball court, a lighted walking trail and two pavilions. We look forward to seeing the joy and laughter that will fill this revitalized space, fostering a sense of community and creating a lasting legacy for generations to come. Thank you to the City of Madisonville for their efforts in helping to revitalize downtown Madisonville! In addition to this project, the city used these same grant funds for the following projects: 12x24 stage for community events; Speaker system for community events; Public Wi-Fi (coming soon); Old City Hall renovation; Stone Building renovation; PA system installed around Courthouse; Outdoor movie screen.
