The playground at Speer Park will be closed beginning May 17 while old equipment is replaced with new.

First built in 2003, the old playground has served the community for many years, but no longer meets current standards. Once erected, the new playground will provide a safe and fun place for families to gather and play. 

Approved by the Town Commission on Jan. 12, 2021 following the adoption of the Speer Park Master Plan in early 2020, the new playground will include multiple slides, tunnels and climbers installed on a rubberized surface.

During the one-month installation period, residents should use the playground at Pollard Park.
