The Indiana Department of Natural Resources was awarded a $901,100 project grant from the Department of the Interior National Park Service under the Outdoor Recreation Acquisition, Development and Planning program (CFDA 15.916). The funding will support the Austin Park Board's acquisition of 12.6 acres for the development and renovation of Broadway Community Park in Scott County, Indiana. Planned improvements include constructing a nature walking trail, installing solar lighting and burying overhead lines. Additional enhancements are a splash pad, restroom and concession stand renovations, adding picnic tables, playground improvements and a new play area, tennis and pickleball courts, a disc golf course, access routes and a new park entry sign. The nature path and disc golf facilities on the acquired land are expected to provide recreation opportunities for local residents and visitors for many years. Work will be completed by September 30, 2025.
