Yes, the playground is gone and we are so excited about the new one coming soon. Here are answers to the top 2 Questions we are getting.
Q) Why were so many trees taken down?
A) Most of these trees were dead or dying and part of the renovation includes planting new trees.
Q) When will the work be complete?
A) We do not have an exact answer but the earliest will be sometime in July.
As we get updates we will post here.

Exciting news!!!! 👇 😁 ✨ 🛝

Get ready, Starr Garden Neighbors & Friends, it's time to get to work on the playground! Our current one will be closing - possibly this week!! - to begin the highly anticipated and much-needed reconstruction! That means no playground for a bit, but trust us, it'll be worth it. The 6th Street entrance may temporarily be out of use, but the Lombard Street entrance will remain open. Rec center and basketball courts also will remain accessible thru out the playground renovation. Yaayyyyy!!!
