The Community Park playground is aging and requires renovation to meet the needs of the community, current safety and Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards, and to provide a quality interactive play area for youth ages 2-12.
The current playground includes 17,000 square feet of surface area with two play areas offering play opportunities for different age groups.
This public engagement and design phase will extend through this fall, with construction slated for spring of 2026. Find more information and keep up-to-date on this project by visiting the Town Project Page.
