Be on the lookout for construction at Bailey Road Park this summer. The beloved "silo playground", which is 12 years old, will be replaced by an amazing new playground! Construction is expected to begin in late June or early July and should be completed by early September. View a sneak peek of the design! In addition to what you see in the rendering, the new play area will include a covered shelter, picnic tables, raised sandbox, and four types of swings.
