    Highlands Park Playground Survey 1

    The Edina Parks & Recreation Department is replacing the playground equipment at Highlands Park and we want you to help choose the new theme and play pieces. We welcome kids and adults to take the following brief survey where you can pick your favorites from slides to swings to climbers. This is your park, so please help us make it what you want!  We will communicate these surveys with professional playground designers to create a layout that meets the neighborhoods specific needs. Layouts or components will be available for feedback and voting in a second round of surveys this summer.
