Earlier this year, we told you about the Frederick Douglass Park Family Center renovations + now we have the details on another park in line for a makeover.

Krannert Park has been a community hub on the west side for 50 years + is located adjacent to I-465 between Rockville Road and Washington Street.

The family center will include:

  • indoor swimming pool

The facility broke ground on Monday + is expected to open in the fall of 2023. In addition to the new building, Krannert Park will also receive:
