A contractor installed new playground equipment and fall-safe ground surfaces
VANCOUVER — The Parks and Nature division of Clark County Public Works is excited to announce new play equipment at Gaiser Middle School Neighborhood Park and Sifton Neighborhood Park. Last summer, the existing play equipment was removed. A contractor installed new playground equipment and fall-safe ground surfaces. The new play equipment is made from weather-resistant materials to promote long-term durability and stability. This playground replacement enhances safety and accessibility for park visitors.
Sifton Neighborhood Park features two new structures that are connected via balancing and climbing elements. Features like the “Fortress Multi-Climber” structure encourage children to play together while navigating a range of challenging climbing elements. Shade sails will be installed this spring to provide shade over the play structure.
Gaiser Middle School Park offers new features including nature-play elements like log steps and balance beams, a new climbing structure with an attached slide, and an “Oodle Swing”.
