Playground 25

Lake City DIRT and the Town of Lake City are embarking on an ambitious project to refresh the Town Park through installation of a new year-round restroom facility and an upgraded playground.  The existing merry-go-round and gaga pit will remain; the remainder of the broken playground pieces will be removed.  A local work group with representatives from Lake City DIRT, the Town of Lake City’s Parks & Recreation program, Lake City Community School, WeeCare in Lake City, and parents has worked with Burke Playground to develop a proposal that includes 2 climbing rocks (constructed by ID Sculptures out of Gunnison), a swing set that includes accessible swings so all children can participate, and a 2-12 years of age combined play structure.  This will be the first accessible playground in Hinsdale County.

Check out the proposed playground plan

Please join the Trujillo Family, DIRT, and the Town of Lake City in providing a space where ALL children can play.
