NEW PARK SHELTER: Ann Arbor's newest park shelter should be completed in two to three weeks. It is the Summit St. shelter at the Summit playground in north-central Ann Arbor. The shelter, being built at a cost of $6,288, is in the north-west corner of the 200-130-foot playground that is bounded by Depot and E. Summit St., N. Fourth Ave. and the Peters Sausage Co. It will have toilets, a storage room and open space under a roof that can be enclosed during the winter to serve as a warming room of ice skaters.
