Park near Civic Center grows for senior citizens use
A new 120 by 65 foot park east of Middletown's City Building expands the Civic Center complex.

The $25,000 project, by SK Construction and Wildwood Garden, is funded through the Community Development block grant program as the Civic Center plaza and park near Reinartz Boulevard and Main Street proceed.
