This project will begin in October 2023.  Phase 1 of the project is anticipated to last 4-5 weeks.  Installation of the new play structure will take place in spring of 2024.  Note this schedule may be affected by weather and other unforeseen circumstances.

PHASE 1 – Fall 2023

The existing play structure will be sold at auction in October (Filson Auctions).
