Attention, Woodbury residents and playground enthusiasts — you'll need to make alternate plans for your outdoor activities early next week, as Madison's Place playground at M Health Fairview Sports Center is taking a brief hiatus for some TLC. On Tuesday, Sept. 10 and Wednesday, Sept. 11, the playground will be closed to the public for necessary repairs and maintenance work, according to a recent announcement from the city's website.
For those eager little climbers and swingers, patience will be the virtue of the day — the city is urging the public to keep off the premises to ensure the restorative efforts can set in undisturbed, this is how they're ensuring a sparkling comeback rather than facing a cycle of 'rinse and repeat' with further closures down the road. It's a minor inconvenience that could save a major headache later, so cooperation is being highly encouraged. If you have questions or simply must know the nitty-gritty of playground maintenance, Parks and Forestry is ready to field your calls at 651-714-3720.
Madison's Place is not just any humdrum set of swings and slides; it's a community staple for families looking to have fun in a safe and engaging environment. So, while the closure might seem like a bit of a drag now, it's all with the intention of keeping the place in top shape for kiddos — and let's be honest, adults who appreciate a good seesaw every now and then — to enjoy for the long haul.
