Wood River Mayor Cheryl Maguire said the new Emerick Sports Park playground and park upgrade has been funded by donations and grants and is projected to cost $175,000. Wood River Park and Recreation Director Jason Woody has worked tirelessly on the project to bring it about, Mayor Maguire said and said she couldn't thank him enough for his efforts.
