Randolph and Bright Mini Park Children’s Play Improvements

Scope of Work

This project will renovate the playground site, including new children’s nature exploration area and surfacing; new picnic seating; adding ADA access to north/east entry point; new walkways; new fencing; new retaining walls; and new irrigation and planting.

Background

The last major renovation of this park was in 1992. The park is much loved by the community. Friends of the park host regular community cleanups and preschool groups frequent the park for nature play days. In November 2021, community volunteers installed artwork, native plants, and a pop-up nature exploration area.

Play structure with slide and circle of logs on wood chips.

Funding

Funding for this project will come from the 2020 Health and Recovery Bond and Kaboom!
