PLAYGROUND PROJECTS

One of the key findings in our 2019 Parks, Recreation and Cultural Arts Master Plan was the need for more playgrounds and improvements to existing. Below you find playground projects underway. 

Central Park Playground - Opening July 10, 2020, Central Park playground is designed to support park patrons with a variety of physical, sensory and cognitive needs. The playground is approximately 6,500 square feet and contains poured-in-place rubberized surfacing, which allows full mobility throughout the whole playground. There is a playable lawn space contained within a 4-foot gated fence with perimeter lighting for security. The improvements also include long, integrated seat walls and picnic pads with ample shade provided by a combination of mature trees and shade structures. This playground was designed for children of all abilities to play, learn and grow together. For more about the park, visit the Central Park page.
