Council approves replacement playground at Warren Park and lighting upgrades at Jay Jay Lou Park
Summary
The council authorized a $199,878.99 contract to replace Warren Park playground equipment and approved $100,746.50 for trail and parking lighting at Jay Jay Lou Park, with additional safety measures to follow.
Greenville City Council approved two park projects on consent: replacement playground equipment at Warren Park and trail and parking‑lot lighting at Jay Jay Lou Park. Parks staff explained the Warren Park equipment (installed in 2008) is past its typical 15‑year lifespan and chains were breaking; the council authorized a contract with Game Time Cunningham Recreation for $199,878.99 to remove and replace the existing structure.
For Jay Jay Lou Park, staff described a safety assessment that identified poor lighting and recommended solar trail lights, parking‑lot lighting, additional cameras, and possible fencing and restroom time‑lock upgrades. Council approved $100,746.50 with Facility Solutions Group Lighting to install sidewalk, trail, and parking lighting; the city attorney noted an indemnification clause in the contract that must be removed before final execution. "Warren Park is our oldest playground we currently have in our inventory," staff said during the presentation.
