What's up with the playground projects in Old Town?


James Mulligan Park, 3000 S. 28th St. (Closed for Renovation)
Construction began in early September and is nearly complete, with an anticipated mid-October completion. All existing equipment has been removed and replaced with new play pieces, including a 360 degree climbing structure, 2 spinner devices, a see saw, and a swing set with toddler and school age seats. A new perimeter border and drainage system have also been completed. Rubber safety surfacing and new benches will be installed early October.

Stevenson Park, 300 Stultz Rd. (Closed for Renovation)
Construction started in late September. All existing play equipment has been removed and will be replaced with new swings and a modular structure with climbers, slides, and other unique play elements.　 A new four-square court is planned for the old swing area. Other improvements include new benches, refurbishing the open picnic areas, adding a new grill, and completing park-wide tree work. The brush behind the play area was recently cleared for improved visibility. The anticipated completion date is mid-November.

The play area will be closed during the renovation.
