Santa Cruz Invites Public to Grand Opening of Chestnut Park Playground

From the City of Santa Cruz:

The City of Santa Cruz welcomes young and old to celebrate the grand opening of Chestnut Park Playground with community members and City officials. The ribbon-cutting will take place at 3 p.m. on Thursday, July 7, at 60 Chestnut Street in Santa Cruz.

The new playground was created for the Chestnut Street neighborhood. A brand new play structure has been installed with slides, climbing ladder and monkey bars. Water-thirsty turf has been replaced with an ADA-friendly surface. A fence has been installed to keep children safe while playing.

The Parks and Recreation project was funded with approximately $45,000 in Capital Improvement Program funds.

Santa Cruz Mayor Cynthia Mathews will speak at the ribbon-cutting where refreshments will be served.
