Leisureplex Playground Replacement
Background
The Leisureplex Playground is located within the Leisureplex Township Park, at 2543 South Grimsby Rd 6, in Smithville. The existing playground features a combined junior and senior play structure with monkey bars, a pull-up bar, a climbing area, a tic-tac-toe game panel, a tube slide, a double slide, a bridge connection, an animal and car stand-alone feature and swing sets, all of which provide the community with a place to play and enjoy the outdoors.
Replacing the playground, located within the Leisureplex Township Park at 2543 South Grimsby Road 6, in Smithville, was approved as a capital project in 2024. A total budget of $160,000 was allotted in the Township’s 2024 budget for this project.
