Stockbridge moves forward with playground upgrades at parks

The Stockbridge City Council voted at its Oct. 8 regular meeting to approve a $151,083 project regarding playground equipment at two separate city parks.

According to a staff report, the city will solicit qualified contractors to provide the purchase of, set-up and removal/installation of Americans with Disabilities Act-approved equipment at Gardner Park on East Atlanta Road as well as Memorial Park on Jennings Way. The document approved by the council stipulated that the contractor must have at least ten years of experience in the playground equipment industry.

The project is being funded by the city’s SPLOST revenue.
