Park to have shade

Aubrey will continue to make improvements to Veterans Memorial Park after accepting a bid for nearly $1.3 million from Pavilion Construction.

The work will include a bathroom, storage room, picnic tables, marquis sign, shade near the stage and additional parking near the stage.

“I do want to touch a little bit on some specific items,” Parks Superintendent Kurt Karnowski said. “And so this building was modeled to look similar to the Aubrey Train Depot station that was here many years back. This is also a climate-controlled bathroom, and it’s something that is desperately needed in our park.”
