Playground to Be Evaluated?

Fairhope, Alabama

According to Councilman Kingrea, plans are being made to have the original designer of the 15-year-old Community Park Playground return to evaluate its current condition, and make recommendations for improvements/repairs.

The Mayor, Kingrea, Councilman Mixon and some parents have expressed concerns about the park's safety for children playing there. Kingrea was appointed last month by the council to work with citizens' groups interested in the matter.

The inspection, by Leathers Associates, LLc.,  will cost about $3,000, according to Kingrea.

Seems as if you would choose someone local that does not have a vested interest!

Lets look at the park on Fells St. also. There is no mulch, the sea saw is broken, one of the swings is broken, there is metal sticking out of the ground, the fence is broken and I feel that it is unsafe.

It sounds like a good plan to me. It has never been maintained properly.

It has already been inspected by the city's building inspector. He deemed it 75% rotten /unsafe. Another waste of $3000.
