The playground has been designed and it will be marvelous! The new playground will be just behind the new addition. The existing playground—down at the soccer fields—will remain there permanently. So soon we’ll have two playgrounds at Whetstone Park.
The new playground is the new style of “urban” playstructure – a single, large piece with many different activity nodes. It was designed to serve many different age groups and with accessibility in mind. It is ramped to accommodate wheelchairs and strollers. Large “sails” will help provide some shade (and eventually, the four new trees nearby may help provide shade too). And, yes, it will be on a rubber play surface! We'll post a picture of the blueprints soon.
To stretch the available dollars, the installation will be a community project. More details to follow soon. To volunteer, contact Nikki Hudson at nhudson@one.net.
