Changes coming to Catlin's playground equipment

CATLIN – Renovations to the playground equipment in the park have already begun, village officials said Tuesday, and more changes are expected to take place before the end of the year.

Catlin Village Board members voted on Tuesday to replace four toddler swing buckets and the hooks and chains that connect the buckets to the swing frame, and to replace two worn backhoe diggers in the pea gravel pit.
