The existing play equipment is scheduled to be removed in the spring of 2023 and the new equipment would be installed soon after the planned removals.

Staff expects that the playground equipment projects will be reviewed and approved by the City Council on February 7, 2023. The Kidder Park project will be taking the same course through the review process but will be following a few weeks later than the Biscayne and Claret park projects.
