Ground has been broken in New Milford for an overhaul of Lynn Deming Park.  Mayor David Gronbach says the project, which has been discussed for more than two decades, is finally coming to fruition. 

The work includes adding a fishing dock, playground, trails into the woods to the north, kayak/canoe/paddle board racks, a building for Parks and Rec equipment, benches and grills, new swimming docks, and other improvements.  A safer and expanded parking lot is also in the works. 

The grand reopening is set for Memorial Day weekend.
