McCurdy Park Renovation Project

The McCurdy Park Renovation Project will renovate the current park with new and remodeled features.

The City of Purcell took control of McCurdy Park in 2008. It has served the community as a softball field for many years. With the addition of the Purcell Baseball Softball Association fields, the Purcell Parks & Recreation Advisory Board believes the space would be better suited as a generalized park that will accommodate multiple activities for all ages.

The City of Purcell will be applying for a grant from the Land and Water Conservation Fund provided by the National Parks Service. The grant would cover 50% of the costs of construction.

Goals of the McCurdy Park Renovation Project

Create an easily accessible park in the center of town
Create an all-inclusive playground that children and adults of all levels of activity can use
Create a site where there is something for all ages to enjoy
Renovate a well known recreational space
