Our ParksSystem Master Plan states that taking care of our existing system was found to be Maplewood’s highest community priority. This means reinvesting in and upgrading parks and facilities. Background Maplewood currently has two Certified Playground Inspectorson staff. In the spring of 2017, all of the City’s playgrounds were inspected and a plan was developed to address the concerns that were found. For 2018, staff proposed the Maplecrest ParkPlaygroundreplacement. The selection of Maplecrest Park was made through the inspections process and based on safety and maintenance concerns. Not only does the playground look bad, Maplecresthas spent several E2 years on the replace or fix list based on safety and the fact that it is not conducive to maintenance and repair.
