Boone Parks Restoration

BOONE, Iowa---The Boone City Parks Commission wants to embark on a 10 year plan to restore the City Parks infrastructure. Commissioner Jack Murphy recently requested funding from the Hotel-Motel Tax receipts received by the City Council. The first area for improvement was the main shelter house in McHose Park. Commissioners have reported that vandalism and age have taken their toll on the facility and improvements are needed. Commission President Mike Swarts has begun working on a "Better Boone Fund Raiser" to assist with the Commissions efforts.
