The playground equipment replacement project at Cascade Park starts Monday, May 23. The park will remain open, but the existing playground, new play area, and a portion of the paved drive at 126th Avenue SW will be closed through July.
The new equipment will provide more age-appropriate options. In addition, the playground will be relocated to allow for better drainage and to increase visibility.
For more information, visit our current projects page.
Funding for the project comes from the Capital Improvement Fund.
The Cascade Park project is one of three currently underway and managed by our Parks Planning and Natural Resources Division. Work is also underway at Kennydale Beach Park, with completion scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend, and Kiwanis Park (completion in December 2022). Additional projects are planned this year for Gene Coulon Memorial Beach Park, and Philip Arnold Park.
