Playground Surface
Dec 10, 2022
The poured in place rubber surface of the playground has been installed!
Getting this done before the winter means it won't have to be delayed until warmer weather in the spring.
Dec 10, Front (East) side of building showing the new paving and playground surface. A little more exterior work remains for the main library entrance.
Dec 10, Playground from the south side. There will be wood fiber mulch under the swingset and grass on the bowl-shaped lower playground.
Dec 10, lower playground from the north side, a good view of the slides and rock scramble that lead down to the lower playground. Loam has been spread on the left side, and there will be loam and plantings around the light pole and on the right side of the slides.
A walkway will run behind the slides and circle around the bowl-shaped lower playground and connect to the base of the slides on the left.
