Whitefish Bay approves $268,600 purchase of playground equipment and installation
Summary
The village board authorized purchase and installation of new playground equipment and surfacing (packet amount cited as $268,600). The project replaces central playground structures, retains swings and sandbox, and may add a rope-climber later through Civic Foundation fundraising.
The Village Board approved a recommendation on March 17 to purchase and install replacement playground equipment and surfacing at a village park, with packet materials citing a purchase and installation figure of $268,600.
Staff showed 3D renderings and said the base bid includes the primary central play structures and a smaller tot-area feature, while existing swings and the sandbox will remain. The board discussed constructability sequencing, concrete curbing and surfacing (some concrete work will be handled through the annual sidewalk program) and whether a rope-climber feature should be included; the rope-climber (and associated surfacing) was described in the packet as an optional add-on that the village might fund through a Civic Foundation partnership.
A trustee moved, the motion was seconded and the board voted in favor of the purchase authorization. Staff indicated construction scheduling will aim for spring installation subject to contractor availability and coordination with the village’s sidewalk and curb work.
