Background/Discussion
The existing playground at Prospect Park was installed in 1984. The Council approved funding in the amount of $500,000 within the FY 24 CIP to replace the 39 year old playground.
A neighborhood meeting was held on July 12, 2023 in Prospect Park to review design options and to obtain input from the neighbors. The neighbors want to keep the existing trees in order to have as much shade and woodland setting as possible for the new playground.
The new playground will serve children ages 2-5 and 5-12. The playground will include a two bay (four swing) swing set. An ADA compliant interior sidewalk will be constructed from Millard Street to the Playground
