WABASH, Ind. – The large pavilion at Wabash City Park will undergo repairs later this year.
The Wabash Park Board on Wednesday, Jan. 10, ordered Park Superintendent Adam Hall to get quotes from various contractors to perform the work, for which the Wabash City Council budgeted $50,000.
The park board reviewed a list of improvements suggested in a study by architect Wesley D. Welsh.
Under the scope of project report compiled by Welsh, the pavilion’s steel columns, trusses and roof purlins are to be cleaned or scraped of any loose of flaking paint. It is then to be power sprayed before being repainted.
Any deteriorated wood sheathing on the roof is to be replaced with new wood to match the existing thickness.
A new metal roof also is to be added to the structure.
The board had to review the Welsh’s report before Hall could begin seeking quotes from the contractors.
