As the City Council is aware, improvements to Sims Park were completed in 2016. Included in the improvements was the relocation and expansion of the existing playground.  Existing playground equipment was replaced with modern equipment containing up to date safety features.  Finally, the existing playground surface containing wood chips was replaced with a Poured-in-Place (PIP) playground surfacing.  The typical life span for this type of surfacing is seven to ten years depending on usage.  The existing surface is eight years old and contains several major repairs and is in need of replacement due to safety concerns and maintenance costs.
