Bronson council approves grant-funded Kuanana Park playground project
Summary
Using a Michigan Neighborhood Public Amenity Grant, Bronson approved design and installation of an ADA-compliant playground at Kuanana Park; staff recommended SN Recreation and tentatively scheduled installation for mid-December pending procurement.
The Bronson City Council approved a grant-funded plan to replace and expand play equipment at Kuanana Park, accepting a design from SN Recreation and authorizing staff to proceed with procurement and installation.
City staff said the project is funded by a Michigan Neighborhood Public Amenity Grant awarded in July 2024 and outlined a design that includes an ADA-compliant ramp, a 42-by-38-foot play structure with slides and climbing features, accessible surfacing, and restoration around the existing swings. The meeting record lists a total project cost as recorded in the meeting materials; installation was tentatively scheduled for the week of Dec. 16 pending final procurement.
Why it matters: The project will replace outdated equipment with an accessible play area intended to serve families and children in the community, enhancing park amenities and safety.
Council voted to approve the project after staff’s presentation and a motion to adopt the design and move forward with contracting. Staff and council members praised project partners and volunteers; no substantive objections to the design or funding source were raised at the meeting.
Next steps: Procurement and scheduling for installation will follow standard city contracting procedures and the grant reimbursement process.
