Work is underway on the new playground at Golden Gardens Park.

The project broke ground on Monday and now workers are hauling away this big pile of dirt. According to Virginia Hassinger, the project manager with the city, hauling will be done in the mornings because the park fills up in the afternoon. “We’re trying to keep things tight and clean,” she tells us.

A look at what the play equipment will look like
We “should have substantial completion by mid-July,” Hassinger says, which means the fence will come down and minor work will be done.

Another angle of the play equipment.
The existing play equipment will stay in place until the new equipment is ready to play on. Once the new space is open, the old equipment will be torn down.
