The Payne Park playground and West John Ringling Causeway Park are open to the public again following temporary closures for improvements.
Crews conducted a comprehensive inspection of the playground equipment at Payne Park. Some items, including the swings, crawling tunnel and bridge, were still under warranty and were replaced. A single shade canopy also was installed over the toddler play area.
At West John Ringling Causeway Park, a new sidewalk was installed plus seawall improvements were made. Both had eroded over the years due to high surf.
