 Welcome to Fairwald Park, where we have transformed the entire park to a much more community-friendly park. This project was made possible through a community development block grant, and it allowed us to really give the community a special space. Our contractor for the park was Great Southern Recreation, and they did an outstanding job implementing the vision. Before work began, the park had an assortment of outdated play equipment and was surrounded by a high chain-link fence. The revitalized park features a new playground, walk-in path, outdoor gym stations, shade shelter, open green space, established tree canopy, side amenities, and landscaping with a new split rail fence. You enter the park at the park gateway, where we have landscaping that blooms throughout the year and new split rail fencing, which replaces the old chain-link fence and is much more inviting. The gateway connects to the walk-in path and adjacent open space. The open space was created by selectively removing a few large pine trees to provide the adequate sunlight and proper soil conditions for a grassy open space. As you can also see, there are plenty of trees that we also preserved in the park. As you continue on the path, we have a large playground that features an assortment of play elements. The playground is a post and platform system with a variety of play components, such as climbing, slides, bridges, tunnels, and swings for plenty play adventure for 5-12 year olds in this area. The surfacing is engineered wood fiber, which is accessible and provides the proper fall safety for the playground. It also has a seamless transition from the playground to the walkway. The next playground is our 2-5 year old area and features an assortment of climbing slides and play adventure with a nature-based design theme. As you can see, we have a log, valance beam, and boulders to climb on, a climbing net, tree climbers to give you that nature-based feel. The surfacing is engineered wood fiber with a seamless connection to the sidewalk, and again this is for 2-5 year olds. The outdoor gym stations begin along our path and have 6 different stations. The first station is a two person back and arms combo. The next station is for pendulum, abs, and a dip station. The third station is a combo lat pull down and vertical press. The fourth station is a four person leg press. The fifth station is a rowing machine. And the final station is a two person chest press. The park has seating along the path at select locations and a shade shelter which fears out into the open space for community events and picnics. The new park here in Fairwald is a community driven design with a mix of passive and active uses and we hope you can visit the park to experience for yourself soon.
