If you drive by the corner of Warrior Trail and Epic Place, you might begin to see some cool things happening at PlayGrand Adventures all-inclusive playground.  Over the past few months, playground equipment and major infrastructure items such as stone walls, sidewalks and drainage has been going in.  Phase I of the playground is on schedule and progressing nicely.  If you drive by, the vanilla colored posts will soon hold up shade elements and specific playground equipment.  Every day, the construction team continues to add play elements and soon you will hear laughter throughout the site.  Stay tuned to playgrandadventures.com and Parks staff will continue to keep you updated on the progress.
