This project will reconstruct and expand the playground at The Battery. The project includes the removal of existing play equipment and replacement with new equipment and innovative play features to encourage creative play. Passive and active recreation areas and circulation within the site will be redesigned and enhanced. Supporting utilities including lighting, irrigation and drainage systems will also be redesigned and upgraded, and plantings and paths immediately surrounding the playground will be rehabilitated.

Project Update: The schematic design for this project has been approved. Parks is now developing construction documents for this project and applying for necessary permits.
