Foxridge Park Playground to Close for Two-Week Construction Project
The playground, including seven parking spaces, will be temporarily closed from Monday, April 20 through Monday, May 4.
The project includes the removal and similar replacement of the existing two-bay swing set. In addition, the existing wood chip surfacing will be replaced throughout the entire playground area with a bonded rubber surface, designed to improve safety, accessibility, and overall play experience. New timber borders will also be installed to frame out the playground area.
To ensure public safety and provide a secure work environment for contractors, the entire playground area and seven parking lot spaces will be temporarily closed during construction. The area is expected to be reopened by Monday, May 4.
Other amenities including the Foxridge Pavilion, softball field, and outdoor basketball court will remain open for public use. Visitors are asked to remain mindful of construction fencing and posted closure signs throughout the duration of the project.
