The design includes a plan to control runoff from the hill next to playground area. Bollards will be needed to secure the parking area near the baseball diamond. Those present discussed the route of the ADA trail. The next steps include removing existing playground equipment, installing the drainage, site work, and installation of the new playground and fitness equipment. Asst Rec Director Carrie DePasquale requested the playground work be finished before June 29, 2026, due to the start of Summer Camp. Supervisor DePasquale said there are many volunteers in Town that are willing to help once a start date is set. Councilwoman Zurbrick said the public should be informed that the playground will be under construction. Those present discussed removal of the existing playground equipment. The Town can save over $50,000 by using in-house and volunteer labor during the project. Supervisor DePasquale will investigate disposal or/and resale of the playground equipment.
