Project Description
This project renovates and replaces the existing playground in Ellsworth Urban Park, located at 621 Ellsworth Drive in Silver Spring.
Background
The existing playground will be removed and a completely new playground will be installed in its place. Local park playgrounds are typically 3,500 to 5,000 square feet in size and include playground equipment to meet the needs of children from ages 2 to 12. Typical types of equipment include swings, play structures, and smaller freestanding pieces of equipment such as spring rockers or spinning elements.

The playground design is 100% complete. Click here to view the final design.

Links to review meeting notes and presentation materials will be attached to each applicable calendar event as it is scheduled and completed.
