The planning commission voted to support construction of an inclusive playground at Centennial Park to satisfy a grant requirement, city staff said.
City planner told commissioners the city has received a grant to construct an inclusive playground at Centennial Park and that part of the grant application requires a vote of support from the local planning commission. The planner clarified that "inclusive" in the grant wording means a playground intended to be usable by children of all abilities and special needs.
Commissioners moved and seconded a motion to support the grant-funded playground; the motion passed on a voice vote. Staff noted the support vote does not represent final release of funds or a final design, and that additional design and site details will be returned to the commission or council as the project proceeds.
The transcript does not include grant amount, design drawings or a firm construction timeline; staff said more information will be provided later in the process.
