KIWANIS PARK PLAYGROUND REPLACEMENT
The existing Kiwanis Park playground is more than 10 years old and is slated for replacement in 2020. The Parks and Recreation Department issued a survey and held public meetings to determine the desire of the neighborhood and school. Construction is scheduled to begin Summer of 2020.
About the Neighborhood Park Improvement Plan (NPP)
The Neighborhood Park Program (NPP) initiative calls for replacement of 1-2 playgrounds each year. The City launched the NPP in 2018, investing $3.6 million to make targeted improvements in neighborhood parks. In the first NPP cycle, the City upgraded 24 park spaces and replaced a total of 10 playgrounds to address a backlog of needs. This replacement program keeps the department’s focus on safety, ensuring that playgrounds are replaced at the end of their useful life.
