New Playground To Be Installed in Greenacres

Work has already begun on the new playground in Greenacres. After the Village received funding from a grant secured by NY State Assemblywoman Amy Paulin they quickly went to work on replacing the Village owned portion of the playground across the street from the Greenacres Elementary School. Plans include new climbing structures for both young and older children as well as swing for infants.

The equipment will be welcomed by the many new families who are flocking to the neighborhood following the renovation of the elementary school.

Commenting on the work, Brian Gray, who is Superintendent for Parks and Recreation said, “The Contractor is in the final stage of demo and clearing the existing site for the installation of the new playground apparatus. I am hesitant to provide a timeline and work schedule as all work is determined by weather. If all goes to plan – installation of apparatus will take approximately one week followed by the installation of new safety surface which is anticipated to take a day or so. “

Stop by and take a look at what’s going on – and bring the kids who will enjoy seeing the backhoe, the steam roller and construction in process.
