Over 1,700 votes were cast on the Parks Project Portal by local community members and playground experts (Bristol youth!!) in August of 2024. The new playground design will sit at an impressive height of 18’9”, and will offer a variety of climbing, sliding, and balance features! Other new playground features include musical chimes, and sign language panel, and somersault bar!
