(KALB) - Saturday morning, Alexandria’s political and business leaders gathered for the grand reopening of Frank O. Hunter Park following a $370,702 improvement project.The project was funded through the City of Alexandria’s Project Reignite —an $82 million program focused on quality-of-life improvements in Alexandria and making the area around Masonic Drive more attractive for new businesses.Both Alexandria Mayor Jacques Roy and the Central Louisiana Chamber of Commerce delivered speeches Saturday morning, marking what the city called a transformation of the park into a modern and inclusive play destination. We spoke with Mayor Roy about the vision behind a new and improved Frank O. Hunter Park.“We’re feeling good about this,” Mayor Roy remarked. “This park is second-to-none in the city, it is beautiful. We have a lot of assets in Alexandria...Programming them to work together is the right thing to do. You want to make sure that not every park will be a football park, not every park will be a baseball park. Some parks are passive meaning they are just to go enjoy time outside. Some parks are active. This is an active park because there are programmed activities.”In addition to the new equipment, crews poured about 4,600 sq. ft. of new concrete sidewalks and 3,000 sq. ft. of rubber surfacing, which the city said makes the park safer, more durable and ADA accessible.</div></body>
