Playground Renovation

• Timeline: The project is now scheduled to ​begin in spring 2025.
  
• Reason for Delay: The city wants to combine ​the playground renovation with other park ​improvements under a single construction ​contract to save costs.
  
• Estimated Cost: The entire park remodeling ​project, including Wacky World, is estimated ​to cost around $16 million.
  
• Funding: The project will be partially funded ​by the $29.5 million Parks Bond approved in ​2021.
  
• Community Fundraising: The Wills Park ​Equestrian Foundation is raising $5 million ​for the equestrian center improvements, and ​a separate committee is raising funds for the ​playground makeover.
  
• Playground Improvements: The new design ​includes climbing structures, an obstacle ​course, a dragon tower, a zip line, enlarged ​restrooms, and additional parking spaces.
