Oh, Avon Lake Play Space, you wooden wonder. You may have seen better days, but your charm is timeless. You're about to enter a new era with a serious makeover (because era’s are for more than just TSwift).

So, the scoop. The Avon Lake City Council made the call in 2021 to breathe new life into this once bustling play space. They’ve heard your stories, felt your nostalgia, and are ready to bring it "back-in-style."

By 2025, the city of Avon Lake is hoping to unveil a playground that'll make your inner child do cartwheels. The vision? To create a space that's not just another playground, but a destination that's welcoming for everyone, regardless of age or ability.

It’s all systems go. The blueprints are drawn, the feedback from citizens, and thanks to a generous grant from the state of Ohio, we've got the funds to make this dream a reality. And we're not stopping there. The city is scouting for more grants and community partnerships to ensure this park is everything you remember and more.

The pros at Kimley-Horn are taking the reins after being carefully selected through the city's RFQ process. They've got the creds, the creativity, and the can-do attitude to bring this project to life.

What's the plan? More space, more fun. The park’s new footprint plans to extend northwards and curate an inclusive playground for all. Expect to see the earth moving this year, and check here for more updates.

Got questions? The Parks and Rec department is all ears.

We can't wait to see this once cherished play space come back to life. Stay tuned, Avon Lake. Our childhood memories are about to get a major upgrade.
