Heads up, ! The wooden play structure at Brown Drive Park and Kinsmen Playground is being replaced beginning August 24. 🛝

Here's what is happening ⬇️

𝐀𝐮𝐠𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝟐𝟒
Construction fencing will be installed around the wooden play structure, and the area will be closed. Crews will demolish and remove the existing wooden structure and construct a new accessible ramp.

𝐒𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫 𝟒
Installation of the new play structure is expected to begin.

⚠️ The area where the existing wooden play structure is located will be closed to the public while construction is underway. ⚠️

Once complete, the new play structure will feature durable metal components and improved accessibility, creating a more inclusive and long-lasting play space for the community.

The existing wooden structure is being replaced after significant dry rot was identified in several of its components.

The new play structure is anticipated to reopen to the public approximately two weeks after construction begins, subject to construction progress and site conditions.

The Town appreciates the community’s patience while this work is completed and looks forward to providing an improved play space for local families and residents.
