The Charlottesville City Council approved a $350,000 appropriation for improving the Carver Recreation Center and buying new playground equipment for Tonsler Park.
The Carver Recreation Center is located in the old Jefferson School. Nearly a quarter of a million dollars will go to buying gym equipment, furniture, computers, and Wi-Fi service for the facility.
Tonsler Park will also receive a new playground to replace the current 17-year-old wooden structures.
"It’s going to be like nothing the city’s ever seen before," Ehman told NBC29.
