This project will include the installation of a new Inclusive Playground at Veterans Memorial Park. This new playground will feature several freestanding play structures, including a Smart Play Café, We-Go-Round, a friendship swing, assisted zipline, a we-saw and more.

Beginning today, June 7, the playground at Veterans Memorial Park will be closed to allow contractors to demo the area in preparation for the new inclusive playground. The parking lot will also be closed while work is taking place. Off-street parking is available during those times to utilize other park amenities. Thank you for your understanding!

This project will not cause traffic impacts.
