As part of its recently completed playground improvements, Welleby Park received a cutting-edge electronic play system known as NEOS.

According to Deputy Mayor Donald Rosen, who suggested the new equipment, NEOS combines the best elements for video games and outdoor play, and provides a real workout for the whole family while helping children develop important skills like teamwork.

NEOS is designed for a range of ages and abilities. Lighted buttons provide visual cues for hearing-impaired players, and speakers located at each button provide auditory cues for visually impaired players.

The renovated playgrounds also received a poured rubberized play surface, as well as a new shade canopy.

Welleby Park is located at 11100 NW 44th St.
