FOX10 Playground Project reveal happening in Mount Vernon

The reveal happens at 3:45 p.m. at Mount Vernon Municipal Park.

MOUNT VERNON, Ala. (WALA) - Today was the big day at the Mount Vernon Municipal Park. Gray skies and rain couldn’t keep eager children away as we cut the ribbon for the latest FOX10 Playground Project.

Children in Mount Vernon told us exactly what they wanted to see for their new playground, and we delivered that and much more for the community today.

The completed project revitalizes the current Mount Vernon Municipal Park.

Earlier this week, our FOX10 crews put the finishing touches on the playground to be ready for today’s big reveal. We could not have done it without the help of our community partners -- United Way of Southwest Alabama, Make an Impact Foundation, Miracle Recreation, SSAB and AM/NS Calvert.
