City agrees to use unallocated funds to finish parks

WEST JORDAN (KSL) -- The City of West Jordan is finally moving forward on funding parks that have been left unfinished for years, thanks to two residents who lobbied the city council on where to use its unallocated funds.

The uncompleted Oaks East Park near 8200 South and 6100 West is nowhere for kids to be playing. In fact, it gets downright dangerous after it rains.

"The water was really high, and there were two kids standing in knee-deep water poking at the grates," said nearby resident Michele Howey.

"We worry about the safety of the kids," said Dorthy Ryan, who also lives close to the park.
