Construction began on Jan. 14, with the equipment installations which are estimated to take about 14 to 21 days. City officials say the Pour-In-Place surfacing will be installed when the weather turns slightly warmer.
The playground design and build is being completed by Sparks@Play, the Virginia rep for Landscape Structures Incorporated (LSI).
Suffolk Parks & Recreation is also in the process of replacing three additional playgrounds that have come to the end of their lifecycle: Lake Kennedy Park, Mary Estes Park, and Sleepy Hole Park.
