The playground at Al Griffin Memorial Park is now closed.
City Staff are removing the old playground equipment and will soon be preparing the area for the installation of new playground equipment. The new playground equipment was chosen based on a competitive process involving multiple vendors of playground equipment and several community members, who worked as an ad hoc committee for this sole purpose. The new playground will not only be more modern, but also include accessible, inclusive activities for children of all ages, with specific pieces geared towards different age groups.
This project was made possible thanks to $200,000 in grants from Oregon Parks & Recreation Department’s Local Government Grant Program, Tillamook Coast Visitors Association, and Bay City TLT funds.
We’d like to thank the committee members for their active participation in developing the final design for this project: Angie Cherry, April Foster, Marly, Tom Imhoff, Kathleen Leipzig, Parker Sammons, Helen Wright, and Councilor Justin Howard.
We look forward to welcoming children of all ages and abilities to play on the new playground in the near future!
