Puma Park Improvements Project

Designs for a new playground at Puma Park are underway! Proposed improvements include upgraded playground equipment and rubberized safety surfacing to increase accessibility around the playground. A new shade pavilion and san-o-let enclosure will replace the existing structures which are at the end of their useful life. New park benches as well as standard and ADA accessible picnic tables will provide comfortable places for people to rest while visiting the playground. The planning and design of this playground are funded by South Suburban and the City of Centennial.
