We’re excited to have the new fence around the playground in place and want to keep it looking great and functioning properly for everyone’s safety.

We kindly ask parents and guardians to please remind children not to hang on, climb, sit on, or play on the fence. These actions can cause damage over time and reduce the lifespan of the fence.

Your help in reinforcing this message goes a long way in keeping our park safe, clean, and enjoyable for the whole community. Thank you for your cooperation!
