Renovations Progress at Northwest Park

Playground Equipment

The existing playground and surrounding hardscape at Northwest Park were installed in 1997, and replacement parts for the nearly 30-year-old playground are no longer available. The playground will be replaced with new play units for 2- to 5-year-olds and 5- to 12-year-olds alongside a new swing set. Other improvements to the playground area include:

1. New concrete walkways
2. New playground surfacing
3. Synthetic turf
4. Repainting the metal columns and frame of the existing shade structure
5. Replacing the shade fabric of the existing shade structure

Playground renovations are expected to be completed this summer.

Lighting Upgrades

Lighting improvements at Northwest Park Recreation Center, the parking lots and tennis courts were completed in January. Installation of additional lighting for one mile of the park trail is expected to be finished in April.

The approximately $1.5 million project is made possible through the use of Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) and Park Bond funds. Improvements to Northwest Park follow recommendations outlined in the 2019 Parks, Recreation and Open Spaces Master Plan.
