Playground Equipment in Rohr Park
VIA:
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Based on our reccnt inspcction of thc playground equipment at Rohr Park, it is necessary to
remove equipment from one of two playgrounds. As a result, only one playground (tot lot) will
be available for children within this 62-acre park.
The playground equipment in question was built in 1976. Due to the effects of weather and use
over time, this playground equipment has fallen into serious disrepair. The structure is made of
wood and metal. Repairs have been made to the playgrowld equipment a numner oftimes over
the years. However, any repairs from this point forward would be ineffective, costly and only
short-term because of the substantial damage to thc equipment. It is apparent that this equipment
cannot be guaranteed for safety at this point due to its poor condition.
The playground equipment at Rohr Park, as with most of the City-owned inhastrudure, does not
havc dcdicated funding for repairs or replacement. Staff has bcen unsuccessful in obtaining
grants from various organizations (such as Kaboom) alld, therelore, will be removing the
equipment within the coming weeks.
Please contact me at x5873 if you have allY questions.
