Sunshine Playground at South Beach Park
Sunshine Playground Preview
- Will the redesign of the park affect the Splash Pad?
-
No. The splash pad will not be affected at all. It will operate under its normal hours and months of the year.
- Are you changing the Splash Pad?
-
This design is only for the playground. We are currently not changing anything with the splash pad, multi-purpose field, volleyball courts or skate park.
- When will the playground be closed?
-
Demolition of the playground begins on November 16, 2021. The last day to play on the playground is November 15, 2021.
- What is happening with the mermaid archway?
-
We plan to renovate our mermaid as she is an iconic piece of this playground. We also plan to keep the pavilion and tiles in the playground as well.
- Will any of the trees or pavilions outside of the fence be removed to accommodate the larger “footprint” of the new playground?
-
As of right now, nothing outside of the perimeter will be removed or changed.
- Will there be more shade?
-
Yes, we will be installing shade sails over the main structure of the tot lot as well as a good portion of the “big kid” area.
- Is the new playground ADA inclusive?
-
Yes, many pieces (including the mid-level of the lifeguard tower) are accessible by wheelchair.
- What are the materials being used for the new playground?
-
The structure will be made of a composite wood and the flooring will be synthetic turf.
- What's happening with the original fence posts that were donated?
-
The fence posts will be available for pickup at the Community Center at South Beach Park through the end of the year (2021).
- Will the demolition/construction affect other parts of South Beach Park?
-
For the most part, no! The skate park, fields, path, volleyball courts, tennis court, pickleball courts, basketball courts, and community centers will remain open. If for some reason, a section of the park needs to be closed for a certain period of time, we will alert the public.
