New Playground Coming to Centennial Park

As part of improvements to Centennial Park that began in 2020, we are adding a playground to better serve the needs of the surrounding neighborhood and community, as well as foster imagination and fun for all visitors. This playground is part of the city’s continued mission to improve the quality of life for residents. Currently, the park’s amenities include tennis courts, a baseball field, and a skate park.

Project Overview

The city will be building a new playground and installing landscape in the surrounding area. We obtained input from the community on the type of grass and equipment they would like to see in the new area. Results coming soon!

Landscape Options

  • Sustainable native grasses

Project Progress

In 2020, the city began with general park improvements to Centennial Park to update overall accessibility which included new walking paths and internal roads, parking lot expansions, landscape improvements, and new storm water management features.

A survey for the new playground and landscaping options was created and remained open for a few weeks to provide the community time to share their input. Survey results were collected and reviewed. The city will then meet with a design company to start planning and developing the new Centennial Park playground.

Project Timeline

The Centennial Park improvements will continue into 2022 with more path connectivity, new shade shelters, and the new playground.

  • Fall 2022 – Install new irrigation system, new sidewalks, and new shelters.
  • Winter 2022 – Begin construction of the new playground.
  • Spring 2023 – Playground features installed. Trees and landscape added.
