Lake Stevens is closing five of its playgrounds to make safety repairs.
February 22, 2023 at 12:46 pm PST
Four of these playgrounds will be removed. The other one will need significant repairs before reopening.Most of the playgrounds needing repair are 15-to-22 years old and are smaller in size and located in residential neighborhoods. One playground was recently installed in 2020 at Oak Hill Park, known as The Timbers. The playground is not designed for installation in a public park, even though it is advertised as commercial grade. The park has structural issues, which may be due to installation or the manufacturing process. Play elements are designed too close together and the structure does not meet ADA Accessibility Standards, according to the release.
All city playgrounds are now scheduled for regular inspections to ensure they remain in good conditionAdults should check the playground and report anything that is loose or needs repair. While playing on playgrounds, children should never wear bike helmets, hoodies, or other clothing pieces with strings. Adults should also make sure that their children are only playing on playgrounds that are designed for their age group.
