After inquiries were made to the Parks and Rec director about the slow progress on the refurbishment of the Pershing Park playground, the Burlingame Voice received this response from Parks Superintendant Tim Richmond:
New playground equipment is finally visible at Pershing Park. After two lengthy design related delays, the final phases of the construction are occurring. Both the construction drawings and the equipment installation plan had to be modified after inaccuracies were discovered in source park documents. When all the equipment has been installed, a layer of rough concrete will be poured. This will form the base for the safety surfacing. The safety surfacing installation will mark the final step of the construction process.
The delays have been a great disappointment to neighbors, park users, staff, and all those involved in the construction. We are all eager for the project to come to a successful completion. When an exact completion date can credibly be given, it will be publicized.
In the meantime the kids peer wistfully through the fence hoping the new playground equipment will be ready before they have to go back to school.
