The design re-imagines the space and re-orients that play. 

The large mostly unused central paved area has been split into two areas to fit into the landscape.  There is now a designated water play area. It could be used for events and markets. When the water is off, there's a second gathering area that has an ADA community table picnic area.

New structures

The older and younger children's structures will be replaced with new structures.  A new 2- to 5-year-old climbing net will also be installed. We will still have three bays of swings.  The swing bays will have:

  • two belt swings
  • two toddler bucket swings, and
  • a dish rope seat swing that will allow multiple children to swing together.

We will be renovating the water play area and formalizing a play and picnic lawn.  We will also be repairing fencing and repainting the wall separating the playground from the courts.
