Ready for Surfacing and Concrete!

The play equipment is installed! The playground is close to completion but two final steps remain before the playground can re-open: (1) play surface installation and (2) concrete flatwork.

Installation of the resilient rubber surfacing (like Luther Burbank Park playground) needs warmer weather. While crews have been waiting on the weather to cooperate, the project also faces a possible delay with the ongoing concrete strike.

There are paths and bench pads that require large amounts of concrete. The strike has lasted for three months, longer than City staff expected. Unfortunately, the playground cannot reopen until this work is also completed.

In the meantime, the installation team will work to complete other details so that reopening can occur quickly once the strike is resolved.
