Storm Lake, IA (Northwest Iowa Now) — There’s a new playground at Chataqua Park in Storm Lake. Park and Rec Program Director Kim Woltman says planning for the 235-thousand-dollar upgrade began about two years ago.

Woltman says there are now eleven city parks in Storm Lake, after the local Kiwanis club built a new playground on the site where a greenhouse burned down.

Frank Starr Park in Storm Lake is scheduled for the next playground upgrade. Woltman is hoping donors will come forward to help with that project as well.
