Project Playground closed June 10–12

Project Playground will be closed for repairs starting Tuesday, June 10 at 7 a.m. through Wednesday, June 11. Weather permitting, it will reopen by 9 a.m. on Thursday, June 12.

We’ve been waiting for dry weather to complete essential repairs to the playground surfacing—and it’s finally here. We know it’s tough to close on the first sunny days of the season, and we’re sorry for the inconvenience, but this work is necessary to keep the playground safe and fun.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.
