Greendale plans upgrades to Community Center Park playground

The Village of Greendale asked for and received valuable input from Greendale residents to help plan and select new playground equipment for Community Center Park. Now that plan, first proposed in the Village’s 2023 Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, is funded and in motion.

“This important project, highlighted in the Comprehensive Outdoor Recreation Plan, aims to replace outdated equipment with ADA-compliant equipment and all-abilities components,” the village said in the post.

Concepts were submitted by three playground suppliers, each offering options at $150,000 and $300,000 budget levels.

With a successful CBDG grant award, the Village’s 2025 budget now approved, and rollover funds from 2024, the Village will be able to execute park improvements at the $300,000 level.
