The play equipment at Garfield Park (6301 Garfield Avenue) will be replaced in 2015. The project is included in the 2015 capital improvement budget (funded by liquor store profits). Replacing play equipment is important for safety, maintenance, and design reasons.

A neighborhood meeting was held to determine the play feature preferences of the neighbors. Five proposals were received and scored by a scoring committee of the Community Services Commission.
