The Metro District's two playground replacements for 2024 have been completed:

• Marcy Park
  
  The 24-year-old equipment at Marcy Park, 9373 Desert Willow Road, was replaced earlier this year and reopened at the end of August.
  
  Metro District staff met with users to gather feedback during a neighborhood meeting at the Metro District Service Center on Feb. 13.

• Welte Park 
  
  The 31-year-old equipment at Welte Park, 6512 Freeport Drive, was also replaced this year. It reopened to visitors ahead of schedule on Oct. 15.
  
  Metro District staff met with users to gather feedback during a neighborhood meeting at the park on April 4.

To help renew aging equipment, the Metro District schedules 1-2 playground replacements each year. Staff considers the condition of existing equipment and available budget when planning replacements.
