This morning, Council broke ground on the new playground!

Over the next few weeks, the old playground will be removed, with any salvageable items going to auction, and the installation of the new equipment will follow.

The new playground, expected 𝐭𝐨 𝐨𝐩𝐞𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐝-𝐀𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐥, will feature a treehouse for kids 5–12, a sandcastle junior play structure for ages 2–12, a zipline, musical instruments, sensory panels, and a variety of climbers, slides, and balance equipment. A safe, accessible rubber apron will connect the playground to the transfer station and Raft Rider.
