Today saw the grand opening of the renovated
playground located at 701 McClelland Dr, across from the Huerta Gym. The playground
has been closed since the fall of 2016 to undergo a major renovation which
included new playground equipment, inclusive play features, rubberized playground
surfacing, seating and a new walkway. The enhanced improvements include
hand-painted tiles and custom engraved bricks, purchased by community members
as part of the Windsor Parks and Recreation Foundation (People4Parks) fund
raising campaign. The
Town began outreach and community planning of this project in 2012 and has
worked with the People4Parks to raise a portion of the renovation budget. People4Parks pledged $35,000 towards the
completion of this project, including a $25,000 contribution from the Windsor
Rotary Club.
The Windsor Town Council, Parks and
Recreation Commission, the Windsor Parks and Recreation Foundation Board of
Directors, neighbors and staff celebrated with the community today with a “Parks
Make Life Better” ceremony in honor of the late Town of Windsor Senior
Maintenance Worker Neil Brady who recently retired and passed away in February.
