County News:
Los Alamos County Parks Manager Dick McIntyre recently held a meeting with local neighborhood residents at the 37th Street Play Lot near Villa Street.
The Play Lot is slated for renovations this Spring.
The following renovations will occur based on community feedback:
- remove the sand safety zone material in the designated play areas and replace with engineered wood fiber, bringing the safety/fall zone into compliance
- add a merry-go-around with fall/safety zone material and borders (similar to the one at Community Park or North Mesa Park)
- replace the asphalt entry walk with new pavement and an approach that is not as steep as the current design
- add three picnic tables and a two benches
- replace trash can with new can with a “bird” hood
- install a gate at the School Canyon trail entrance
Bidding and contracting will require 4-5 weeks.
The work should require no more than two weeks.
Questions can be directed to McIntyre at the Parks Office at 662-8159.
