Playground


This terrific set was ordered from Costco. Paid for by a resident until we have donations to reimburse. The cost was $2000.00 and we had a $500 coupon we used. So the full cost including shipping and taxes was $1601.00.

The yearly additional insurance costs will be $300.00 a year for the playground. Again remember we saved us $1000.00 year by switching our insurance company. This is the ONLY thing being paid by homeowner fees. I will contact the insurance company after holidays to get the actual coverages for you.

Other costs depend on the communities input and help. We need the location prepared, what will be placed under the playground-grass, sand, bark, rubber bark. What kind of boarder to keep all that in. We will continue to do more research to see what is else would be needed.

So far we have about 12 homes that wish to donate between $250-$500.

Is that a real grass that is growing on the playground's surface? I still prefer playground bark though compared to grass as it is thicker and thus cushions more compared to grass
