The City of East Ridge will begin demolition on the current Pioneer Frontier Playground beginning Monday, April 5, to prepare for the new playground and splashpad equipment to be installed. Demo is expected to be completed by May 1, and installation should begin around the first week of May.
During the demolition, all sentimental items will be preserved and city officials along with the playground committee will meet to discuss what to do with those items.
A dedication and grand opening ceremony will be announced at a later date closer to completion.
The footprint of the playground and walking track will be blocked off and unavailable until the new playground and splash pad are installed which could be middle to late summer depending on weather.
