Another neighborhood playground has received a new look thanks to the 2021 Bond Program. Woodland Park, located at 1399 Woodland Way, received a brand-new playground in late July.
Some of the new amenities include two play structures with slides, a pendulum swing, an in-ground net climber, spinners, geometric climbers, four bays of swings and more. Woodland Park also received parking and ramp improvements to bring it up to full compliance with the state and federal accessibility standards.
Richardson’s Parks and Recreation Department maintains a list of all playgrounds based on the date of their installation. Playground equipment is often replaced every 15-20 years or earlier depending on its condition. Woods Park playground, located near the intersection of Springbranch Drive and Telecom Parkway, is also under renovation, and will reopen later this summer with new equipment.
