Duluth is in the design phase to construct a synthetic turf area adjacent to Taylor Park, 3167 Main St. As part of the project, the city will also be constructing a pad for the location of a playable piece of art.
Funding for the synthetic turf area will come from a bond funded with Tax Allocation District proceeds. However, because Taylor Park is outside the TAD boundary, TAD bond proceeds can’t be used for the project. As a result, the city recently reallocated $45,000 from the General Fund for the design cost.
The 2.2-acre Taylor Park in front of Duluth City Hall is home to a train-themed playground including a miniature train depot and train set. Donated by the Kelley Family in 1996, the park has been improved to include slides, climbing, and crawling equipment.
