Come Play Together

Come Play Together

Playground Project Goal

The Boulder Junction Community Playground Project is a community-wide based project whose goal is to provide a fun, safe, inclusive experience for residents and visitors alike.

The community as a whole is invited to “come and play together” to support this beautiful addition to our Sports and Recreation Park on Park Street planned for the fall of 2022.

It is time to put her together.

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.)
The playground needs to be ADA compliant and inclusive.
This project has become even more critical for our community and visitors particularly in the time of COVID/OMICRON, where outside play is encouraged.
