🚧🌲Construction of the Steveston Community Park playground enhancements will begin the week of September 8, 2026 and is expected to take approximately 3 to 4 weeks.

During construction:
✅ The majority of the playground will remain open.
⚠️ The shipwreck structure, wobble boards, and belt swing set will be temporarily fenced off as crews get to work. 🛠️

Inspired by community feedback, the upgrades will add new monkey bars and climbing equipment that connect to the existing play structure, offering even more opportunities for active, imaginative play. Thank you for your patience! 🌳🤸‍♀️
