The ARC playground is now open after being closed for renovations which started on Monday, March 31st. Originally opened in 2017, the playground featured two play structures with electronic gaming capabilities, a popular trend in commercial playground equipment at the time. However, District staff have since encountered ongoing issues with the electronic components. In 2023, the manufacturer announced it would discontinue technical support for this line of equipment.
Throughout 2024, District staff collaborated with the company to find a solution. As a result, the electronic components will be replaced with new, standard play features, including a multi-user net spinner and stepping pods. The renovations will also include repairs to the synthetic turf safety surfacing, all at no cost to the District.
