The city of Collegedale will host a grand opening ceremony at 9 a.m. Friday for Little Debbie Park behind The Commons on Swinyar Drive.
The park will feature extensive playground equipment, including climbing structures, swing sets, balance beams, a zip line, a sensory dome and musical instruments, according to plans for the park. Additionally, there will be a large hill, two knolls, two stormwater ponds, hundreds of trees and shrubs, and several pavilions.
The McKee family purchased the 10-acre plot of land and donated it for use as a park for the community. Mike Gloekler, communications and public relations manager for McKee Foods, was unable to provide the park’s cost during a phone interview.
