Shaker Square Playground View from Top of Slide and Climbing Gym

This color photograph shows a portion of the Shaker Square Playground after its renovation by the City of Worthington. The picture shows the view from the top of the slide and climbing gym, looking over a railing. Climbing equipment is visible below. Other playground equipment such as swings are visible beyond that, with trees and portions of three houses visible in the background.

As posted on the City of Worthington Facebook page on October 3, 2023, the playground was open for play after crews finished up the week before. The playground replacement was part of the City's Annual Playground Improvement. Because the original playground was installed in 1994, City Council set aside $200,000 to fund the project in its Capital Improvement Program (CIP), and Worthington Parks and Recreation Department staff worked closely with residents and the Parks and Recreation Commission to come up with a final design for the new playground.
