New Playground Installation - begins May 24

We are super excited to announce that Common Ground’s playground will FINALLY be getting some updates!

The work begins Monday morning at 8am on May 24th. During the work, the following areas will be closed to classes:

  • the blacktop

  • the twos playground

  • the infant playground

The work should not impact:

  • morning car line

  • the grassy area

  • the swings area

  • the climbing structure

The work should take about a week, but it may spill over into the first week of June. During this time, we will be creative with our space to make sure the kids all have great places to play!

Here’s are the updates that we have planned:

INFANT PLAYGROUND:

Along the back wall, extending from the existing sidewalk all the way to the fence, there will be and 11 foot wide, poured rubber surface area. This are will allow our littlest a place to crawl around outdoors! The way that it will be installed, with a beveled edge, will also make it easy to sweep the mulch off and back into the play area.

We will then purchase a few new push toys, rockers, and slides for that section!

TWOS PLAYGROUND:

The small yellow climbing structure and slide will be removed and replaced with the new structure in the photos! We are so excited to have our logo colors incorporated in our new slide structure!

MAIN CLIMBING AREA:

A ‘landing mat’ will be installed under the slides to help keep mulch from wearing away in that area!

SWINGS AREA:

Mats will be installed under all four of the swings to keep the mulch from wearing away. This will keep our swings safer, and make it easier for our kids to reach the swings!

ENTIRE PLAYGROUND:

Once the installation is completed, we will have new wood carpeting installed in the entire playground area. Certified, engineered wood carpeting is the safest material to have on playground to protect children from falling from play structures!
