Build sandcastles at new indoor sandbox

Opening this fall, The Sandbox for Kids, will open for a unique play experience. At this 1,000 square foot indoor sandbox, children are encouraged to have fun and be creative playing with tools and trucks in the sand. In the fall, their private party rooms will be open for birthdays or other celebrations. The website notes that the sand is, “natural, safe, silica-free, dust-free, allergy-free and non- toxic sand.”

New high school in the making

Bowling Green City Schools broke ground on a new high school this spring, scheduled to be completed in Fall 2027. The 155,000-square-foot, three-story building will serve around 880 students, grades 9-12. Once the new building is operating, the old building – built in 1963 – will be used as an activity center. This project is made possible by the $72.8 million bond that was passed by voters in 2023.
