Wallace Park Project Update

Wallace Park is going to be seeing some big changes soon. The park is putting in new playground equipment and outdoor pickleball courts. There are only so many outdoor pickleball courts in town besides the ones at Boswell Park. Park Director John Shelton gives an update on the outdoor pickleball courts going in at Wallace Park.
Deputies in Laclede County are actively seeking a woman allegedly involved in a hit-and-run collision.

Lori Phillips is charged with assault, armed criminal action, and resisting arrest.

According to investigators, a pursuit initiated by a deputy on Friday evening in Lebanon identified Phillips as the driver. They allege her involvement in an incident that resulted in the arrest of Troy Covey near Phillipsburg Friday evening after a police pursuit.

Phillips is believed to frequent the Crocker, Richland, and Lebanon areas.

Shelton says the playground equipment should be arriving soon, and says two other parks will be getting worked on as well.

The park’s Facebook page, the city’s Facebook page, and the city website are continuously getting updated with park updates.

Shelton is hopeful to have a grand opening in Wallace Park in June.
