5.2.1 The new playground equipment has been installed. We will create a 5 feet wide sidewalk leading from the cabin's sidewalk to the new restrooms. The sidewalk will be brought right up to the mulch of the playground. Additionally, we will add a picnic table pad with ADA space on one side. Three new park benches around the playground will be installed. 5.2.2 The old merry-go-round to be stripped back to pure metal before re -powder coating it to match the color concept of the new equipment. The merry-go-round should be returned to the powder coating company next week, and we can expect it back within two weeks. By refurbishing the merry-go-round instead of purchasing a new unit, we have saved more than $5,000. 5.2.3 The Park staff will meet with landscapers from Starns Outdoor Services to create a plan to landscape around the front and sides of the new restroom. This plan will provide a buffer from our mowers and will be designed in a way that is low maintenance. 5.2.4 A community ribbon -cutting ceremony for OTP in early May. 6.
