Improvements to William F. Flaherty Playground

| Park Established 1925 |

Flaherty Playground has lovely mature trees, two playgrounds for ages 5-12 and 2-5, a large open performance and plaza area, and lots of seating in the shade. 

After various pauses during our design process, we thank you for your patience. Our project is going out to bid on October 7! Assuming bids are within budget, we will award on October 24. While we may start construction during the cold months, it's unlikely because we want to avoid putting up fences without a contractor working consistently. A few weeks before construction starts, we will post notices here, and at the park. Once we start construction, we will post monthly construction updates on this page.
