Lake Edge Playground Replacement Update

1/15/2017

0 Comments

 
On January 10, two playground concepts were presented by Sarah Lerner, the Project Manager from Parks Department.  This is based on the survey results from the neighborhood:

  1. Manufacturer - Playworld (by a slim margin)
  2. Fill Material - Wood mulch
  3. Posts and railing color - Lime green
  4. Age Range - 5-12 years old
  5. Add-Ons - Yes (only 11 respondents)*
  6. Add-on choice - Spring Rider ($4,500)*
*The deadline to indicate fundraising efforts to add the spring rider ($4500) playground equipment was December 15.  No one has volunteered to coordinate the effort and only 11 respondents to the survey indicated yes to fundraising. Additionally, the money (~$4600, with the administrative fee) must be raised by March 1, 2017 through the Madison Parks Foundation. As such, LENA Board has determined that we will not be pursuing the additional playground asset at this time. Note that the blue half circle teeter-totter/climber/bouncer and the yellow spinny equipment will remain and relocated to the new playground structure area.

Below are the concepts presented.  Concept 2 was the preferred option with suggestions provided to be incorporated.  The final design is currently in progress and will be shared once Sarah has had a chance to discuss and review with the playground manufacturer, Playworld.

Suggested modifications include the replacement of the following items:
  • Tic-tac-toe panel
    • Replacement option:  Nature Hunt Panel
  • Metal climber
    • Replacement option: Stalagmites
  • Monkey bars
    • Replacement option: Horizontal Loop Ladder or the Roundabout
In addition, an inquiry has been made for the installation of additional park benches and potentially replacing one of the swing options (belt or the toddler) with an inclusion swing (e.g. accessible swing). 

Assuming these changes are within the budget allotted for the project, a final concept layout will be presented and finalized.  Project bids will go out and once a RFP (request for proposal) is accepted, construction will be scheduled.  LENA will be working closely with the City on this project to ensure construction schedule does not interfere with our neighborhood events (e.g. summer picnic).  The playground is expected to be installed this fall.
