ELLENDALE PARK ADA RESTROOMS

The restroom building at Ellendale Park is being replaced this year with a new ADA-compliant facility thanks in large part to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from Shelby County. The foundation and masonry of the new structure has recently been completed and the framing is well underway underway. The new building is on track to be completed by early to mid-August 2021.
