City of Fall River opens remodeled and newly dedicated park
On Friday, a brief speaking ceremony took place at the newly remodeled park on Aetna Street, which was dedicated as “Paul Poulos Memorial Park”.
Mayor Paul Coogan, members of the Fall River Community Development Agency and the family of Paul Poulos were present. Speakers highlighted the life and accomplishments of Paul Poulos, former executive director of the Fall River CDA and assistant planning director/senior planner for the Fall River Planning Department, as well as the hard work undergone to repair the Aetna Street playground.
The Aetna Street park was rehabilitated through collaboration between the Coogan administration, the City of Fall River Park Department and the Community Development Agency. CDA provided grant funding for the park’s rehabilitation, which cost $291,621 in total.
The rehabilitation included a new basketball court, two new playgrounds and a handicap accessible picnic table, along with new benches, sidewalks, fencing, landscaping and signage.
