Commission flags safety problems at Town Hall playground; repairs or replacement possible

Harwinton Recreation Commission · August 10, 2026

Summary

The commission reported broken inclusive swing buckles, split monkey bars and a split central post at the Town Hall playground and directed staff to contact GameTime and Playground Medic about repairs and warranties; full replacement was discussed as a likely near-term need.

Commissioners raised safety concerns about the Town Hall playground, citing repeated failures of inclusive swing buckles, a split in the monkey bars that could pose a laceration hazard and a split central post.

"The inclusive swing buckles have broken again," the clerk reported. Kerri will contact GameTime and Playground Medic to evaluate repair options and determine whether any components remain under warranty. Commissioners discussed the likelihood that replacement of the swing or the full playground may be required in the near future.

The commission did not set a timeline for repairs; members asked staff to investigate warranty coverage and cost estimates to inform whether a repair or full replacement is the appropriate course.
