ALLENTOWN, Pa. – More kids will get to enjoy playing longer hours at an Allentown park that recently got a facelift.<\/p>\n
The ribbon was cut Tuesday at Jordan Meadows located at American Parkway & Gordon St., in Allentown.<\/p>\n
It recently received major upgrades, with what’s called a mini-pitch system.<\/p>\n
The system offers better lighting, improved fencing, benches, and access for those who are disabled.<\/p>\n
“There’s a total of $131,000 invested, so we’re hopeful that we can find other places to build new mini pitches across the city. It’s a smart investment. It’s an investment that encourages activities across our city among young people,” said Allentown Mayor Matt Tuerk.<\/p>\n
The grand opening comes ahead of summer break.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. – More kids will get to enjoy playing longer hours at an Allentown park that recently…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":43668,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[119,121,120,28],"class_list":{"0":"post-43667","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-allentown","8":"tag-allentown","9":"tag-allentown-headlines","10":"tag-allentown-news","11":"tag-pennsylvania"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=43667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/43667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/43668"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=43667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=43667"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=43667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
