Playground Project Premise

  • Improve the safety and play experience of families of our town and visitors to our area
  • Make needed improvements, enhancements and additions to the dated playground, now at least 30 years or older.
  • Upgrade or replace remaining equipment. (Some of the equipment has been removed when deemed unsafe.)
