Heritage Village Park Improvement Project
Designs for a new playground at Heritage Village Park are underway! Planned improvements include upgraded playground equipment and rubberized safety surfacing to enhance accessibility. A new shade pavilion will replace the existing structure, which has reached the end of its useful life. Additionally, new park benches and both standard and ADA-accessible picnic tables will provide comfortable seating for visitors. This project is funded through South Suburban and the City of Centennial.
