ST. GEORGE — The Safety Place, a nonprofit focused on child safety, injury prevention and wellness, has opened its first permanent location in the city of St. George.

The facility is at the Cedar Ridge Avenue BREC park. The Safety Place has been around for years but this marks its first permanent home.

The nonprofit provides school-based programming, with students taking field trips to the facility for free. It is working in partnership with BREC and the St. George Fire Department.

A ribbon cutting was held this morning and an after school celebration took place in the afternoon. A free movie event is scheduled for tonight at 6 p.m.
