TrailMark Park Playground Improvements

Designs for a new playground at TrailMark Park are complete! Proposed improvements include upgraded playground equipment and rubberized safety surfacing to increase accessibility around the playground. A new shade pavilion will replace the existing structure which is at the end of its 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.

Please Note: This project is not related to the TrailMark Community Amenities project. Visit the TrailMark Community Amenities page to learn more.

South Suburban has encountered a minor permitting issue that has delayed the contractor from beginning the demolition process. This delay has not changed the project schedule, and we anticipate the issue to be resolved quickly.

Yesterday, staff held an Owner- Architect-Contractor (OAC) meeting with the contractor at the park. During the meeting, we initiated the installation of tree protection fencing. This week's agenda includes the installation of site security fencing, erosion control Best Management Practices (BMPs), and securing necessary permits.
As of today, the park is officially closed; however, the soft surface trail to the south will remain accessible. While occasional closures of the trail might occur during certain phases of the project, we'll strive to minimize their duration. .
