City of Brooksville issued the following announcement on July 19.
The City of Brooksville’s Parks and Recreation Director announced the installation of the new playground at Tom Varn Park.
The new American Disabilities Act (ADA) compliant playground is being installed by GameTime and is anticipated to begin mid-August, based on shipping/arrival of the equipment.
The installation should take ten days if the weather cooperates but is also dependent on the availability of mulch.
The old playground will be disassembled and removed beginning Monday, August 2. The project is funded in part by a competitive grant from the Florida Recreation Development
Assistance Program (FRDAP). The grant award is in the amount of $150,000 which is administered through the Florida Department of Environmental Protection with a 75/25
reimbursement split. “We are committed to doing everything we can to foster a positive park experience for our residents,” stated Whisnant. “and improving the safety of the
playground was paramount.” The City will also be adding additional amenities to the site, those include a new ADA water fountain as well as benches. According to Whisnant, a
ribbon cutting ceremony is being planned and will be open to the public. For further information visit http://www.cityofbrooksville.us or call the City of Brooksville Parks and
