Creative Playground at Virginia Weaver Park
In November 2017, voters approved $15 million for development and improvement of parks and recreation facilities throughout the city, with a special emphasis on improving accessibility to parks and play structure for children of all abilities.
To achieve that goal, the creative play structure at Virginia Weaver Park will be replaced with a new creative playground with enhanced accessibility for children with special needs. The original playground was built by the community, and community will have the opportunity to participate in the design and construction of the new structure.
