Though much of Woodstock is shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak, the city reports that the new playground next to the downtown Elm Street event green is beginning to take shape as crews make progress on the $510,000 project.
"It has been designed as a natural playground with elements built for play and exploration that are not typical of playground structures," according to a city Facebook posting. Workers have started building "rock scrambles that will be a great place to climb once open."
The playground will have an ADA-accessible boardwalk entry from the corner of Market and Maple Streets, an accessible play area, hammocks, tables, a jungle explorer dome, climbing mounds and tunnels through earthen berms.
The playground is funded by SPLOST and Parks and Recreation impact fees and is expected to be completed this spring. Information: https://bit.ly/2y5zTCo
