Public Works Update
New Playground Installation Ends for the Season

The remaining work will be completed in the spring and then the new facility will be opened to the public. The previous equipment is being donated to an organization called “Kids around the World”. This organization works to establish playgrounds in poverty-stricken communities, restoring the opportunity for kids to enjoy the kind of play that is key to their physical, emotional, spiritual and cognitive development. Photos of the installation progress, as well as a rendering of the new playground, can be found below.
