Norwalk City Council Approves $2,050,000 Contract for New Playground Equipment

Norwalk, CA - On Tuesday, August 16, 2022, the Norwalk City Council unanimously approved a contract with Miracle Playground Sales, Inc. for the installation of new playground equipment and demolition of outdated equipment at five parks located in the City of Norwalk.

The parks that will receive new playground equipment include Bob White Park, Holifield Park, New River Park, Norwalk Park, and Vista Verde Park. The total project cost is estimated to be $1,727,500.

"The Norwalk City Council was aware that some of the playgrounds at our parks were in need of replacement and made it a priority to include funding in the Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget to upgrade playground equipment," stated Mayor Rick Ramirez.

The Fiscal Year 2022/23 budget includes funding for park renovations for a total of $2,050,000 for playground installations at all five parks. Any unused funds will be utilized for future park projects.

Each new playground will include climbing equipment, activity areas, and slides for both 2-5-year-olds and 5-12-year-olds. Each of the playgrounds will be installed within the existing playground footprints, with the exception of Norwalk Park, which will have the new playground situated at a new location within the park.

"The City of Norwalk is consistently looking for ways to improve the City's infrastructure - this is a quality-of-life issue for our residents. This project has been in the works for some time, and now the City has moved forward with the project in order to have our children play on these new playgrounds by early next year," stated Mayor Ramirez.
