A popular children’s playground in New Jersey has been demolished for safety reasons. It happened last week – a private contractor from Moorestown did the work for free and who has asked to remain anonymous. The name of the park is Fullerton Park.
They do plan to replace the park – which should cost about $175,000. Why was the park demolished? The wooden equipment was 18 years old and had exposed nails, deteriorated wood and other issues.
“Park users say they want the wooden equipment replaced with something similar that is attractive and has a more natural look or rustic character.”
The group has posted a survey on its website to get input about the new park. The survey lasts through July 6. There is also a Facebook page that has updates. Way to look out for our kids New Jersey! Thanks to the man who stepped in to pay for this at a time when the state budgets are stretched. This shows someone who is dedicated to our community!
