As a result of this inspection, it was confirmed that theNebraska Park playgroundneededto be replaced. Background Maplewood currently has twoCertified Playground Inspectorson staff. In the spring of 2016, all of the City’s playgrounds were inspectedand aplan was developed to address the concerns that were found. This year, staff proposed the Nebraska Park replacement. Discussion The selection of Nebraska Parkwasmade through the inspections processand based on safety and maintenance concerns.Not only does the playground look bad, Nebraskahas spent a couple years on the replace or fix list based on safety and the fact that it is not conducive to maintenance and repair. Budget This project will carry a not to exceed budget of $100,000 andwillbe paid for out of the Parks Allocation in the CIP Fund. Recommendation Staff recommends that the Parks and Recreation Commission givea motion of support for the replacement of the NebraskaParkPlayground.
