Construction Update
In case you haven't yet heard the news.... WE'RE GETTING A PLAYGROUND!
Thank you to all who have put countless hours into grant writing, survey sharing, writing letters, going to meetings and more, to get us to this place.
This week: Demo will begin on the current playground. The playground will be roped off during this time. All equipment except for the green structure at the south end (plus the balance beams, and the benches on the outside perimeter) will go. The sand will be removed and new mulch will be added.
There will be a break over Thanksgiving.
The week after Thanksgiving, the new playground will go in! I have been told that we will have a new playground by December 10th.
We are working up a playground opening celebration. Stay tuned for a date and details! Thank you again!
PlayMPLS is a small grassroots group of parents thinking about the future of the Cooper Elementary playground and surrounding fields, as well as the future of all Minneapolis Public Schools outdoor play areas. Preservation through rehabilitation, or well-considered replacement if needed, can help keep the Cooper playground community gathering place for kids, teens, and parents for years to come.
