Parks staff opens multi-year plan to replace playground; sinking fund holds $120,000
City staff told the commission the playground (installed circa 1999) is at end of life; a capital sinking fund currently holds $120,000 and staff estimated replacement and installation costs could range roughly $180,000–$220,000 depending on design and surfacing choices.

Greg, a parks staff member, said the playground installed in 1999 is near the end of its useful life and the city started a capital sinking fund now holding $120,000 toward replacement. He said smaller, modern replacement structures can be in the $180,000–$220,000 range once installation and footings are included, while large custom-themed installations at other sites have exceeded $800,000.
