🌳✨ Exciting New Play Adventures Are Coming to Butler Children’s Park! ✨🌳

As part of our ongoing commitment to improving parks and recreational opportunities throughout West Plains, we’re excited to highlight the second of three park improvement projects taking place this year!

This week, we’re focusing on Butler Children’s Park, where three incredible new play areas are being added to create even more opportunities for children and families to play, explore, and make lasting memories.

The new playground improvements will feature:

✅ A large multi-level adventure play structure
✅ New climbing and exploration elements
✅ Exciting new slides
✅ Double Rail Rider
✅ New perimeter fence around the park
✅ More opportunities for children of all ages to play together

These exciting additions are designed to encourage active play, imagination, physical activity, and family fun while creating a destination that children will enjoy for years to come.

During construction, portions of the park may be temporarily impacted as crews work to safely complete the project. We kindly ask for your patience and understanding while these improvements are being made.

Stay tuned over the next week as we continue highlighting the final park improvement project still to come this year!

We know children have a special talent for spotting the “coolest rock ever” and deciding it absolutely must come along for the adventure.

But when you and your kids are visiting the splash pad at the Butler Children’s Park, please help us keep the fun flowing by leaving rocks, pebbles, and other "treasures" outside the splash area. Rocks can damage equipment, clog drains, and create tripping hazards for little feet.

Thank you for helping us keep the splash pad safe, clean, and ready for everyone to enjoy!
