Playground at Vrooman Park in Eastpoint now open to children

The refurbished playground at Vrooman Park in Eastpoint is now open to the public.

County workers recently completed work on the playground – the existing playground equipment was repaired and moved to the front of the park and the county added some new equipment including slides and monkey bars.

Moving the playground required tearing down two small pavilions at the site – those are now being replaced by a new pole barn.

Moving the childrens’ playground is part of a larger project to renovate Vrooman Park and add a new T-ball field.

The project includes replacing the existing T-ball field, which is too small, with a regulation sized field with all of the required fencing.

In order to get a regulation sized field at the site it will require that the paved walking trail in the rear of the park be moved back about 12 feet.

The work is being paid for through a state FURDAP grant.
