Council seeks cost estimate and grant options after vandalism damages Hunt Park slide
Summary
After staff reported vandalism-damaged playground equipment at Hunt Park, the council asked for cost estimates for replacing an entire play set comparable to the existing equipment and requested staff look into grant funding.
Town Manager Suzanne Harvey told the council that the damaged slide at Hunt Park had previously been refurbished and that the current damage was likely from vandalism. Councilmembers asked whether replacing the whole set would be more cost-effective than repairing a single slide.
Councilmember Christy Hirshberg pressed for cost comparisons and possible outside funding. The council directed staff to provide estimates for a comparable new playground set and to research grant opportunities that could defray replacement costs.
