The new Flood Park playground is taking shape with portions of the climbing tower visible above construction fencing. Other features in progress include zip lines, spinners, swings and benches. Soon, slides of various lengths and heights will arrive.
Community input from children and adults guided the inclusive play design that also provides informal play space and an area for children ages 2 to 5. Construction is expected to be completed this spring. It is the second phase of a multi-year renovation of the 90-year-old park. In 2025 new sports courts, including sand volleyball, basketball, and tennis and pickleball courts opened as did the bike pump track and revamped picnic areas.
