Families across Columbus will see exciting upgrades at neighborhood playgrounds this summer!
Improvements are underway at Albany Crossing, Easthaven, Karns, Mifflin, Saunders, Nelson, Westgate and Williams Creek playgrounds. Each playground will receive new seating, bike racks and AAC communication panels to help create more inclusive experiences for all.
Several playgrounds will also feature additions designed for their communities. Westgate Park will include a large rope climbing structure, while Nelson Park will feature a two-story play tower that will create a one-of-a-kind play experience for families. Saunders Park will add outdoor adult fitness and boxing workout equipment, creating opportunities for all ages to stay active together.
At Easthaven Park, improvements will replace the section of the playground previously damaged by fire, restoring an important neighborhood gathering space. Mifflin Park will also receive a native pollinator garden at the former playground site, supporting local wildlife and adding natural beauty to the park.
These projects enhance parks and create spaces where residents can play, connect and enjoy the outdoors close to home.
