Hood River officials say they are going to make some repairs to the current Children’s Park structure on Hazel Street to reopen it in a smaller modified scale by Memorial Day. The City held a community meeting on the structure that has been closed since a report that found 35 structural deficiencies in the 25-year-old wooden play area. City Manager Steve Wheeler says they believe they can dismantle some parts of the structure while leaving other parts that are working or can be easily fixed. The next step would be replacement of the facility, and how to pay for it. Wheeler said the 2017-18 City budget he will be presenting this spring will include some money for Children’s Park, but he says the City will also request involvement from the Hood River Valley Parks and Recreation District, and replacement will probably also need a community fundraising component.
