Big changes are coming to Sparks Foundation County Park! On September 8, our beloved playground will begin its replacement. While we know this playground holds tons of memories, we’re thrilled to bring you an incredible new playground with sliding, swinging, spinning, climbing, and balancing play pieces, plus fresh rubber surfacing for maximum accessibility. This new playground is designed for fun, inclusivity, and generations of new memories. We can’t wait for you to see what’s coming! 💙🌳✨
