Site work for a playground / park / athletic field in Ocala, Florida. Conceptual plans call for site work for a playground / park / athletic field.

Design and permit the installation of a new playground, fall zone, and shade structures; remove old playground elements, fall zone material, and border to install new play structures, border, fall zone material, and shade structures. The existing playground unit has two distinct units that address a variety of age groups. These units have had several critical failures and the current condition is worsening. This is due to the age, amount of use, and being exposed to the elements. The current safety surfacing is poured in place and has exceeded its expected life, per industry standards and may no longer meet standard F2223, the standard for surfacing. The addition of shade structures of varies sizes located over specific playground components will reduce the temperature and will also increase the life expectancy of the overall unit itself. As of November 8, 2024, this project is included in the County of Marion's fiscal years 2025-2029 and funding is allocated for FY 2026. *Project information has been obtained through a public capital improvement plan (CIP).
