Observatory Park Playground (795 S 22nd Avenue) will be fenced off for construction effective Friday, May 13. Depending on the weather, the closure will be in place until at least May 30.
During this closure, the final phase of construction for the park will take place. The current engineered wood fiber surface will be removed the week of May 16 and pour-in-place rubber will be installed the week of May 23. Weather dependent, this process will take at least two and a half weeks. The design of the pour-in-place will incorporate the space theme with constellations.
