PREBLE, NY (607NewsNow) —Dwyer Park in Cortland County is getting more fun for kids. 

Public information officer Savannah Hempstead tells 607 News Now a local group helped raise money.

It’ll be placed next to equipment at the park, which was installed in July.

Earlier this year, Cortland County awarded a bid to a company in Alabama to rebuild the playground at Dwyer Park. It had been closed for safety concerns.
