    The new playground at Fox Meadow Park is scheduled to open Wednesday, Nov. 8! Yay!

    Workers are finishing up the final touches as we write this on Tuesday, Nov. 7. Once that's done and it passes all the final safety inspections, it will open.

    Please remain out of the area until the work is done and any tape or barriers are removed. Once all that comes down, Fox Meadow will be open for play.

    We can't wait to hear and see what you think of the new playground.

    Thanks to everyone who participated in choosing style, colors and playground equipment. Now get ready to play on what you all created!

    We would love your feedback about the new play features, please provide comments and picture in our Feedback section.
