Two local parks have received grant funding for renovations to boost activity and accessibility.

State Representative Rob Matzie announced on Tuesday that P.J. Caul Memorial Park will be receiving $125,000 for renovations through the Greenways, Trails, and Recreation Program through the Marcellus Legacy Fund. Through the same grant, $74,000 has been awarded to John A. Antoline Park in Monaca for the Central Valley Girls Youth Softball Field.

“The grant to Ambridge will allow the borough to build on improvements to P.J. Caul Park that are making the park more accessible and more inviting for residents,” Matzie said. “The funding to Monaca will support needed renovations to the Antoline Park softball field. Folks love to come out and watch the games and cheer on the players, and the work will help ensure the best experience for everyone.”
