Two Uptown parks are getting a facelift.<\/p>\n
In North Park, Councilmember Todd Gloria joined community members and other city officials Feb. 26 to break ground for a new 6,000-square-foot playground at Montclair Park, 2791 Nile St. The $346,000 project \u2013 financed with city funds and insurance settlement funds \u2013 will create separate active areas for toddlers and older children, including swings, slides, and climbing walls. An ADA-compliant rubber surface will feature images of sun, leaves and sky. The park has been without a playground since a drunk driver damaged the site in 2007. Construction is expected to be completed by the end of June.<\/p>\n
The same day in University Heights, Gloria helped break ground for renovations to the joint-use fields at Birney Elementary School, 4345 Campus Ave., which will be completed by fall. Improvements include a 1.6-acre irrigated turf multipurpose field, a .25-acre perimeter walkway, fencing and an accessible pathway into the field from the corner of Meade Avenue and Park Boulevard.u<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
