On Friday the Knoxville Morning Kiwanis continued with construction of Phase 4 of the Miracle Playground at Youngs Park.

Ernie Smith, the Nebraska and Iowa Lt. Governor for Division 15 for the Morning Kiwanis tells KNIA/KRLS News the Kiwanis is continuing work on Phase 4 of a 5 phase project which is about 80%complete. Smith says he hopes to have the 4th phase completed and open to the public in about a month. Smith says the Kiwanis just received a $25,000 grant from Wellmark that will help with the construction of Phase 5 of the project which he says the Kiwanis hopes to to start in the spring of 2018. During Friday’s construction members of the Knoxville Street Department volunteered to help the Kiwanis install concrete patches that will be used for named benches at the park.
