For the first time in many months, representatives from the Ridgecrest Chamber of Commerce joined city staff and Council Members Lindsey Stephens and Scott Hayman in an official ribbon cutting ceremony. It took place Wednesday morning, when the group convened to cut the traditional red ribbon in honor of two new public restrooms for splash pad users, along with painting and other improvements to the oft-used gazebo in Freedom Park.

The cost for the new restroom was $67,372 and the project was completed in July 2020. The project also included concrete work around the restroom, according to city staff. Park impact fees were used for the restrooms according to Stephens.

Gazebo work included repairs to the sections of handrails that were badly rusted out, re-stuccoing and painting the gazebo and pillars and painting the metal roof. The grass board was also removed and replaced with decomposed granite to prevent damage to the stucco, painted the metal roof. The cost for gazebo repairs was $25,137, according to city staff.
