A new playground has been installed at Nottingham Park, 9539 N. Decatur Road.
To prepare for installation of the new playground, the old equipment was removed and the playground area was expanded to meet ADA requirements, including a new sidewalk and ramp. New benches and a trash receptacle also were installed.
Neighbors donated labor to install the surface material, which saved the city about $3,000. Thank you to the group of about 40 people with wheel barrows, tarps and shovels hauling material for a four hours on a weeknight earlier this summer.
The new playground is designed for children ages 2-12. Features include a 9' slide, a triple slide, climberslots of play panels, 10' swings with belt seats and tot seats, and a stand-alone monorail that kids can hang from while sliding horizontally.
The $100,000 project was paid for by Boise Parks & Recreation from the Repair and Maintenance fund.
