WTAW News Director Bill Oliver was returning home Sunday evening, May 31 2015, when he stopped to pay his first visit to the new city park in West, TX, which was destroyed in the April 2013 fertilizer plant explosion.
Located across the railroad tracks from the fertilizer plant, Parker’s Park Project was the inspiration of Parker Pustejovsky, who was four when he lost his father who died while serving as a volunteer firefighter.
Among those at the park was West mayor Tommy Muska, who visited with Bill about the rebuilding that continues 25 months since the explosion.
