This project aims to make site improvements to a play area located within the western portion of the former Home of Good Shepherd property. Most components of the play area were constructed in the early 1980s, revised in 2002, and some equipment was replaced through a Neighborhood Matching Fund project in 2011. Several elements/features within the play area such as existing play equipment, art paving, play area ramps, custom made slides and rubber tiles need to be renovated or replaced.
