"We've had a fantastic centennial celebration thus far, and we continue to work towards commemorating not only the 100 years that have gotten us here but setting ourselves up for the future," Mayor Jim O'Brien said.
Sue Ann Reichard, a member of the town's Parks and Recreation Committee, said Central Park's concrete walkway was deteriorating with roots growing over it, and it wasn't esthetically pleasing.
"We knew that it was being used, and we wanted a project that would be for all generations," she said. "We wanted something that young and old alike could come out and be able to use."
On top of the walkway upgrade, Reichard said other upgrades included the disc golf course, playground, exercise stations and more.
Also in the park are five new centennial trees that are marked with a commemorative plaque.
