The playground on the north side of Konehete Veterans Park in Murphy is officially undergoing a full renovation. The improvements began Aug. 6 and are set to be complete by the end of the month. All new playground equipment – including a main structure, swings and gravel – are being installed. New gravel that’s considered better for children to play on is being brought in from Georgia, and the water fountains are working again. Cherokee County Recreation Department officials are also hoping to obtain grant money to pay for the installation of a handicapped-accessible area in the playground area.
