The water park at Riverside Park in Independence may have a fresh look this summer.  Independence City Commissioners are expected to award a bid for work at the park when they meet this evening.  The work will include exterior fiberglass and paint restoration work to the slides, stairs, structural supports, lockers and entryway sign.

It's expected commissioners will award the lowest bid of just over $143,000 to Slide Pools of Missouri.  The company says it should be able to complete the work in about four weeks.

Tonight's Independence City Commission meeting gets underway at 5:30pm in the Civic Center.
