Wayzata Beach Playground Almost Complete The final step to complete the new playground is for the contractor to install the poured rubberized surface for the playground. It is extremely important that people stay off of the rubberized surface until it is fully cured and the orange fencing has been removed from the perimeter of the playground. If people walk on this rubberized surface before it is fully cured, it will permanently damage the surface, and may damage clothing, shoes, or bare skin.
We ask that you stay off of the playground until it is fully open. Thank you for your patience!
