The Northgate School Board voted Monday to contribute $8,000 to improvements at Avalon’s California Avenue Park, but not the $10,000 requested by Avalon Borough.

Avalon obtained a $28,000 grant to rehabilitate the park, which is used by Avalon Elementary School students. The project is expected to cost another $22,000, however, according to board member David Natale. He said that Avalon originally requested that the district chip in $8,000, but then sent another letter requesting a $10,000 contribution.

The contribution was approved at Monday’s board meeting, along with a $500 contribution to Bellevue Borough to go toward the cost of maintaining the baseball field at memorial park. The field is used by Northgate’s varsity baseball team.
