Williams Elementary seeks accessible playground replacement, aims for community build
Summary
Williams Elementary presented plans to the Community Preservation Committee for an accessible neighborhood playground replacement, reporting successful fundraising, phased installation with city staff and vendors, and a target to complete by the next school year.
Joe Simon of Williams Elementary School described a playground improvement proposal to the committee on March 16, saying the existing equipment is outdated and the planned replacement will provide accessible access and equipment for the surrounding neighborhood.
Simon said the project has ongoing fundraising and will be implemented in phases with city staff and a vendor; the school hopes to complete the work by the start of the next school year and to hold a community-build event with the vendor, as it has done for other playground projects.
The committee did not vote on the Williams Elementary proposal at the March 16 meeting; the school asked the committee to consider funding as the project schedule and vendor engagements are finalized.
