We actually have had the playground on our radar for a while now.  The playground got pretty overgrown and nasty looking in the late summer.  I actually picked a few weeds myself only to be overwhelmed by how bad it was.  The board discussed the issue and agreed that a better weed blocking barrier needed to be installed vs treating the existing weeds.  This process involves more effort and equipment.  What has slowed that work down is the ground back by the playground. It is extremely wet and taking heavy trucks back there was going to tear up the ground.  By this point winter wasn't far and we decided to wait for a good winter freeze to complete the job.  We are still waiting for that to happen!  We appreciate you bringing the topic up because others might also have been wondering what the deal was.  Thanks! 

Just an update, work has begun on the playground this week!
