Ribbon cutting ceremonies were held Friday afternoon for improvements at two Fond du Lac city parks. A ribbon cutting was held to celebrate recent updates at McDermott and McKinley Parks. Public Works director Paul DeVries says the McDermott Park project includes a pergola, convergence area, benches, landscaping beds, and native planting area. DeVries says there’s also a new synthetic ice rink that will be open to the public by the Thanksgiving holiday. There’s a new playground at McKinley Park.
