More Equipment Coming To College Station’s Fun For All Playground And Questions Answered About Issues With Existing Equipment

Another feature is coming to College Station’s Fun For All playground at Central Park. That’s after city council members at its July 25th meeting approved spending almost $253,000 dollars for equipment targeted for ages two to five. The new equipment will include a swing set, play structure, shade cover, fall zone, and two communication boards. Funding comes from donations to the playground project. Background information presented to the council says “inclusive play has been the goal of this effort from the beginning and these amenities will further enhance the desired outcome of equitable, barrier-free play.” While there were no council comments about this purchase, councilwoman Elizabeth Cunha asked about issues with some of the playground’s current equipment. Parks and recreation director Kelsey Heiden said the equipment issues cited by Cunha are covered by warranties and the city does not face additional maintenance costs. Heiden also said city staff is working on a solution to fix flower mulch beds that washed out from runoff caused by the park’s splash pads.
