Gallup Park Playground Renovation |
We are excited to announce renovation of the Gallup Park playground beginning Monday, April 28th. The playground will close Monday for the start of work anticipated to take 5-6 weeks. As a favored gathering space for families, friends, and the community, the play structures have provided endless fun, but they have now reached the end of their usable lifespan. Over the past 18 months the Playground Ad-Hoc Committee has worked to reimagine the playground for future generations. The new layout has many notable features including a new zip-line, a stagecoach play structure, Mommy and Me swing, lots of slides, net climber and a spinner. The layout also includes extensive shade coverings over the swings and much of the equipment for added comfort. Work will be complete in time for our first summer concert June 13th. In the meantime, we encourage everyone to enjoy the playgrounds at Dapple Grey Park, Hidden Trail Park and Moulton Park while we work on upgrading the Gallup Park playground. |
