The Lilburn City Council voted recently to award the bid for the replacement and installation of playground equipment at Lilburn City Park to Architectural Design Specialties/Playground Creations of Atlanta in an amount not to exceed $162,600.

In a 2015 citizen survey conducted by Lilburn, more than half of park users expressed a desire for new playground equipment including a toddler area. The renovated playground will include separate areas for younger and older children, brand new equipment, a softer playing surface, and better wheelchair accessibility. The city will build a new parking lot in Lilburn City Park near the playground, at the site of the existing tennis courts.

Playground closure will be announced when a construction schedule is finalized. This project is being funded by the 2017 SPLOST/Recreation fund.
