Trenton, N.J. - Today, Mayor W. Reed Gusciora joined by interim Recreation Director Paul Harris and his team provided a construction update for Villa Park Playground, located at Lyndale and Centennial Avenue in the City of Trenton.
Demolition on the current playground began on Monday, September 9th, and was completed within twenty-four hours. New playground equipment is currently being installed. The playground has features for ages two through twelve. We anticipate the playground will be ready for public use by Friday, September 20th. The project, set at $305,104.39, is being financed through American Rescue Plan federal funds.
