Play Lot Renovation

Coming Soon — Photos of the newly renovated playlot!

Why did we renovate?

• The play lot, which had not been renovated since the 1980s, was in need of a makeover to ensure the safety and full enjoyment of the children.
  
  
• For example, both seesaws were so worn, years of paint are worn through.  The seesaws and two slides were made of metal, which is unsafe in playgrounds today.
  
  
• In addition, the ground at Chase Park was less than ideal.  The mulch playground floor was not only filthy, but is also uneven.  This made it hard for new walkers to keep their balance and for children with physical disabilities.
  
  
• Both the playground and surrounding land were constantly saturated from rains.  Pools of water collected, making mud pits where there should be green.

Scope of the Play lot Renovation

• Funds raised for the play lot were used to:
  • Purchase updated, safer and age appropriate play equipment
  • Install a rubberized playground surface
  • Relandscape the grounds around the play lot
  • Improve lighting and perimeter fencing
  • Create a water feature
  • Maintain the existing greenery and large trees
