We want your input on the design of this new playground, including:

  • Play equipment features

Decisions that have already been made include:

  • Playground intended to remain in same footprint in park
  • Playground sized to appropriately service neighborhood users
  • Capital budget allocation of $150,000 for the project

Project goals/process include:

  • Include play equipment for age groups 2-5 and 5-12
  • Meet accessibility requirements
  • Replace the pea gravel surface with sustainable wood chips
  • Work directly with the community throughout the process to ensure concerns and aspirations are consistently understood and considered
  • Provide multiple concepts to share with residents and receive feedback
  • Make a final design concept recommendation to Edina City Council
This project page will be updated throughout the process.

Thanks for helping us create a new playground together!

    To get ready for the new playground equipment, the Todd Park playground will close Friday, Aug. 9.

    The existing equipment will be removed and the site prepared for the new equipment chosen by neighbors and park users in our surveys.

    Feel free to stop by and watch the installation - from a distance. Please keep children (and you eager adults!) out of the playground area during the removal and installation process. The equipment, even if it looks like it's ready to play on, needs to be tested for safety before we can open the new playground.

    We'll let you know when it's ready to go, which should be in September.

    Thank you to everyone who provided feedback in our first survey. Playground designers will be taking that information and preferences and creating a wonderful design based on your information about theme, age of users, and components you would like to see in your playground. They will also be using the playgrounds you liked and comments you left as inspiration and information to make the best design for the neighborhood. Once designs are submitted we will post them on Better Together Edina for review, comment, and voting by the community. We will also be asking what color theme would be preferred.

    Please check back at Better Together Edina early this Autumn for the next round of surveys. Playgrounds will be installed the spring of 2024.
