Construction will begin May 5th for the replacement of the Kojetin Park Playground. This process includes the removal and recycling of the existing structure as well as the removal of the pea gravel material. A new structure that was selected by the community will then be installed and engineered wood fiber and safety surface will be installed. This process will have the playground closed for May. Please stay off any equipment until we officially opened for play in June. Thank you for your patience.
