The Parkland City Commission has authorized replacement of the 2- to 5-year-old playground at Terramar Park with a boundless playground. The playground, which will be completed within six months, will be the first one of its kind in the city.
The playground will allow children with and without disabilities to play together in an accessible and nurturing play environment. There are only 14 boundless playgrounds in Florida. Parkland has an active special needs population, and a boundless playground was a logical next step for the city to take.
The city will piggyback a contract with United States Communities which uses 2009 prices instead of inflated 2010 prices. In addition by using playground equipment from Gametime, the city also obtained an almost $30,000 grant towards the playground.
