After a year of construction, the renovated playground at John J. Carty Park opened March 1.
The new space has play equipment for children 2-5 and 6-12 years old, spray showers, a fitness area with parallel bars and picnicking spaces. It also retains the beloved whale statue.
Councilman Justin Brannan allocated $5.4 million for the project, which began in 2020.
