The city will be building a new playground on 28th St, just west of Q Ave and one of the features is this 10-foot tall piece of playground equipment called a performer dome by the manufacturer Kompan. Yes, playground equipment has changed over the years.

The City Council on Monday night approved a $91,000 contract with Steele & Associates of Bellingham to build the playground just north of an existing community garden. There used to be a playground on the site, City Parks employee Jonn Lunsford told the Council. The old equipment was removed some years back.

The Performer Dome, shown here, is designed for 5-12 year old kids. There will also be another, smaller, playground piece of equipment designed for ages under five. The playground will include cedar surfacing, concrete curbing, a concrete walkway and grass sod.

Construction will start in the next 120 days.
