Improvements will also include the installation of Zeager Brothers ADA Accessible Woodcarpet Surfacing, an ADA access ramp, a customized Aspen Big Toys Treehouse play structure, To-Fro Swings, and a tire swing. These improvements are needed to make the only playground and park in southwestern Pitkin County safer as well as handicapped accessible.

On December 2, 2005, the Board awarded a sum not to exceed $31,100.00 for completion of'the project entitled and described above (the "Project").
