(Westville, IN) - Bluhm County Park in Westville will soon get a makeover, thanks to some local funding.  A $250,000 grant for the Healthcare Foundation of La Porte will pay for a new handicapped-accessible playground.

The parking lot there will be paved courtesy of the La Porte County Council and Commissioners, who approved $70,000 for the job.  And the La Porte County Park Foundation will chip in over $50,000 to install a new restroom with running water and septic.

The improvements are scheduled to be done before the end of the year.
