⚠️Please Stay Off the New Playground⚠️

The new playground at Lions Park will be closed to the public while the rubber surfacing is being installed and cured.

The rubber pour is scheduled for Monday and Tuesday, and the surface requires approximately 72 hours to cure before it is safe for use.

Please keep children, pets, and all other users off the new play structure and rubber surface during this time. This will help ensure the new surface cures properly and prevent damage to the project.
