Roswell will replace aging playground equipment at four city parks as part of a $1.47 million project. The upgrades cover structures at East Roswell Park, Groveway Community Park, Roswell Area Park, and Sloan Street Park.
Why it matters
The existing equipment, installed between 2007 and 2010, is reaching the end of its useful lifespan. Replacing these structures ensures that local families have access to play areas that meet current federal safety and accessibility standards.
The $1,468,683 contract covers replacements at four parks out of 15 in the city system. All new installations must meet federal safety and Americans with Disabilities Act requirements by the project completion deadline of June 1, 2027.

The takeaway
The city is upgrading equipment that is nearly 20 years old to improve safety and accessibility for local children. Families can track the progress of these improvements through the 2022 Parks Bond Program updates provided by city hall.
