Play Area Design
The proposed design is based on feedback from both the Town and the community, and will be funded entirely by private donations. It features three pieces of play equipment to replace the old swing set, see-saw, and jungle gym. Unlike the old play area, this one features wood chips, and a neutral colored rubber pathway that is required by law to ensure that it is safe and accessible for all children, including those with disabilities. Although the equipment is rated for children ages 2-5, it is versatile enough to be enjoyed by older children as well. Finally, the equipment will be painted dark green, and the netting on the small rotating climber will be black, to ensure that the play area blends with its natural surroundings.
NOTE: The original plan approved by the Town back in June 2018 featured a framed climber in place of the see-saw, but was subsequently replaced to address aesthetic concerns about its height.
