The playground at Wasco Park will be closed for replacement beginning on Wednesday, May 29.

The existing structure has come to the end of its life and is being removed to make room for a new playground, which is designed to be more inclusive and contains accessible components.

Installation of the new playground, along with a new seating area, is expected to be completed in June. During construction, the majority of the park will be closed and the work area defined with construction fencing. 

The closest alternative parklands for use are Timberland Park, at the end of Timberline Drive, and Valley Park on Valley Street.
