“We are immensely proud of our City parks and are excited that we can enhance two of our parks with new playground equipment,” said Newport Mayor Tom Guidugli Jr. “Parks are not only where kids go to play, meet their friends, and have fun. They are also special places where families can go spend time together. Parks continuously improve the quality of life of Newport and are great amenities for our residents to enjoy.”
