Work is moving along at Taylor Street Park Playground!
Originally scheduled for completion in late spring, construction has been delayed by unique challenges unearthed by the contractor on the playground worksite. The most significant of these has been the discovery of numerous concrete footers installed several feet underground to support various facilities housed at the site over the past century or more.
Work is expected to be completed and the park reopened in early summer! The updated park will feature:
✅Ramped playground structures that offer ease of access for people of all mobility ranges
✅Climbers, ladders, sensory experiences, play panels rocker, swings, slides, and balance challenges.
✅Seating and shaded areas
✅Tunnels, pour in place surface
