Commissioners hear update on two playground soft-surfacing projects and accessibility improvements
Summary
Parks staff reported two playgrounds will receive soft surfacing (Carroll Beach complete; Becker Park delayed by rain and rescheduled) and a new connecting sidewalk at Becker Park to improve accessibility; commissioners also asked staff to explore larger beach mats and water-capable beach wheelchairs.
Brack reported the village approved soft surfacing at two playgrounds: the Carroll Beach playground is complete and Becker Parks surfacing was rained out and tentatively rescheduled. "The 1st 1 is completed. That's the 1 over in Carroll Beach, and the 2nd 1 is over in Becker Park, and that's tentatively on for this Thursday," Brack said. Staff also added a connecting concrete sidewalk from the parking pad to Becker's soft surfacing to improve access.
Several commissioners asked about beach-mat sizes and whether the village could acquire water-capable beach wheelchairs to improve accessibility. One commissioner said the current beach mat is "a little buried" and recommended evaluating larger mats similar to those used at Simmons Island. Brack agreed to look into costs and options and will report back to the commission.
