Three neighborhood parks in West Volusia are in line for a sprucing up after the Volusia County Council approved a contract Tuesday morning for new playground equipment.
The parks include two in the Spring Hill community of DeLand – Sylvester Bruten Park and Spring Hill Park – and Seville Village Park. The contract, which totals $741,665.92, covers the replacement of existing playground equipment that has reached the end of its useful life. That includes both playgrounds at Spring Hill Park.
The playgrounds will be designed for use by children between the ages of 5 and 12 and will include composite play structures, swing sets and a variety of ground and elevated play activities such as slides and climbing apparatus. The playground equipment is being funded through the Community Development Block Grant Program, which provides federal funding for projects that improve the quality of life in low- and moderate-income communities.
The contract was awarded to Melbourne-based Advanced Recreational Concepts. Once the purchase orders are issued, the work is expected to take approximately four months to complete.
