PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The Sweeney Playground redesign offers new life to the half-acre park, with a brightly colored synthetic surface stretched over a rippling topography of hillocks and valleys. Water jets triggered by children encourage interactive play on hot summer days. The permeable surface and infiltration basin allow for groundwater recharge during storm events.

The renovations include new play equipment with poured-in safety surfacing, basketball court renovations, water play updates, new benches and drinking fountain, new state of the art lighting upgrades, and improvements to the drainage system.
