We’re thrilled to share that the Harris Grove playground will be receiving a muchneeded upgrade in the coming months Originally installed in 2001, the playground has served our community for over two decades However, due to its age and the fact that many original parts have been discontinued, a full replacement has become necessary
We took advantage of a promotion, making a full playground replacement more cost-effective and covered by a new warranty. The reserve study had already earmarked $43,000 toward this project. The total cost of the new playground is $57,000, which includes professional demolition, removal services, and installation tasks we are unable to complete in-house. Thanks to adequate reserve funding, the difference was covered without additional financial strain.
The new playground was officially ordered on June 12 , and we’ll continue to share updates as installation moves forward. We can’t wait for the neighborhood to enjoy this exciting new space for decades to come!
