Delta Park Set for Opening on September 10

The playground equipment has been installed, the courts are complete, water is spraying from the splashpad and now all we need are people to enjoy the park! Delta Park is so close to opening, with just a few outstanding things, such as landscaping. It's typical for landscaping to be some of the last work to be done at a park, especially with how much foot traffic Delta Park gets. While the colorful and tall play structure takes center stage as a focal point of the park, you cannot forget about the landscaping and numerous strategically planted plants.

Benefits of Landscaping at a Playground

Plants can act as barriers and keep kids away from hazards like streets or parking lots. Landscape helps define the boundaries of the play area.
Provides natural texture to a space that is otherwise full of equipment or play structures
Creates a welcoming space that encourages people to get outside

Final Touches

Crews will water the newly planted sod in addition to some landscaping areas. The temperatures have been hot, and it's important to keep the new sod wet so it can begin to establish roots.

Painted lines in the parking lot designating spots for the park
Sweeping sidewalks to clear them of any debris from landscape or construction work
Picking up trash that has blown in from the wind
Testing water elements like the splash pad and misters

We look forward to seeing everyone at the September 10 opening celebration to come out and enjoy this new, beautiful space!
