There's a makeover in the works for Heather Ridge Park's playground, folks. The City has finally implemented a plan to revamp the old and weary equipment with a fresh play area, and the wheels are set to start turning in late March. This update, sourced directly from the City of Hilliard, comes after a call for community input last May helped shape the new design.
In what could be called a community-fueled face-lift, the preliminary grind kicked off with the removal of the playground that had seen better days. The next steps in the process will begin to literally lay the groundwork—expect to see concrete pouring and soil shifting as the contractors prep the site in late March and early April. Despite the seeming disruption, it's part of a plan to quickly start installing the spanking new equipment in the following months.
Projected to see completion by June, just as the school bell rings for summer vacation, the City seems to be keeping a tight schedule. It's a strategic move likely aimed at perfect timing for the kids to come and conquer the fresh play space. So, if you're a Heather Ridge local or simply a park enthusiast, this June promises to deliver some new thrills.
