Community Ventures is excited to share the final design for the Vogt Recreation Center Playground. We are grateful to the community for your input, which helped to inform the final design. Three successful in-person events were held in May, June, and September 2024, to gather community design input. Digital surveys were also available for those who could not attend in-person. Additionally, students from the Disston School gave very insightful feedback during May 2024.
The design team used the feedback to shape the final design while also keeping an eye on budget and design standards. The final design rendering above reflects this collaborative design process and features:
Two Play Areas
Activity Loop/Athletics Track
Playground Equipment including an accessible carousel
Fitness Equipment
Benches and Tables
Shade Structure with a Solid Roof
Covered Bike Rack
Community input helped to inform the layout, playground equipment, amenities, fitness equipment, playground equipment color palette, and play markings (activity loop).
