The city is allocating an additional $400,000 to the project, which is expected to cost well over $1.5 million. The city has secured a $250,000 grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund, which will be used for the project.
Troy Houtman of Wichita’s Parks and Recreation Department says the project should break ground some time next month.
