Who's involved
The facts
- Two playgrounds at Cedar Brake Park, one for children ages 2-5 and another for ages 5-12, will be completely replaced with new swings, slides, climbing elements, instruments to bang on and more accessible play features for children who use wheelchairs.[1]
- A new pickleball court will be added to Cedar Brake Park and an exercise equipment area will replace the volleyball court.[1]
- Several park features will remain: many trees near the existing playgrounds, the sandbox and a popular tunnel that kids crawl through will stay, though the tunnel will get drainage improvements and be remade with turf.[1]
- Equipment ordered is not expected to arrive until March or April 2027, which will be followed by construction time including demolition of old equipment, excavation, installation of new equipment and pouring new concrete.[1]
- The improvements are already approved in Montgomery's current budget.[1]
Who said what
- Council member Casey Olson The reason why the little kids don't use the park right now is because the equipment is old, dilapidated and it's almost dangerous, so the only way to fix that is to put nicer, new stuff in.[1]
- Council member Casey Olson There's a lot of people that have asked for a pickleball court, and any age can play it.[1]
