PUBLIC SERVICES DEPARTMENT PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT
The City of Lake Worth’s Public Services Department would like to inform the community that on
November 17, 2015 from 6:00pm – 7:00pm there will be a public meeting regarding the “Domino Park” project at South G Street, between 8th Ave. South and 9th Ave. South at the railroad tracks.
$39,505 in Community Development Block Grant funds shall be allocated to this project. The site is
currently unimproved and is utilized by residents as an informal location to play checkers and dominoes on makeshift tables and chairs. In order to better accommodate the needs of these residents, the City intends to provide a more attractive venue that is better protected against the elements in which such activities can be more comfortably conducted. Planned improvements include clearing and grubbing of the site and the installation of a 15’x15’ open pavilion with metal roofing on a concrete slab, a concrete table with benches, type D curbing and 4” mulch ground cover.
This meeting will be a discussion with residents about current issues in the area and to ensure that
proposed improvements will meet the community need.
For more information regarding this project meeting, please feel free to call Public Services
Administration office at 561-586-1720.

Awesome improvement for this neighborhood
Please make sure that this park pays for itself via parking fees or entry fees otherwise we can't afford it according to every meeting we have ever had on the pool in the last 4 years.
Parks are free you Anom moron at 9:17...
The pool is not a park - I guess you'll want to charge a jogger running thru a park, better yet, let's charge all those snotty nosed little kids tying to use the playground equipment that the bums are sleeping on... Oh there's another revenue stream, let's charge the bums, vagrants and urban campers who want to set up and camp in our parks-maybe even give them a pass to the pool so they can bathe! ...but then they'll bitch that we don't provide them transportation to the pool.
And the truly homeless who want help, can get a free ride to the Lewis Center.
Yup everyone should pay to use our parks and pay to use soccer fields and pay to use ball fields, they all require upkeep, they are all recreational facilities. Why charge admission to the pool and not the rest? There is a cost of upkeep for all of our recreational facilities including the parks. Either we stop harping on the pool or we start charging for all.
People PAY to use our pool. People PAY to use our beach park if they are parking a car.
So, all of these miscreants who want to ruin our casino/pool complex and hand it over to a developer should pay double. :)
