Richardson commission OKs indoor children’s playground in Lockwood Neighborhood

According to city documents, the indoor playground will include climbing equipment, stairs, slides, a children’s climbing wall and a play area for toddlers. Kid-N-Play will also have a small party room and a mother’s nursing room.

“We want to be a gathering place for local organizations like the [Parent Teacher Association], a supporter of nearby businesses and a positive contributor to the economic vitality of Lockwood,” Long said.

Lockwood Distilling Company currently uses the 3,500-square-foot site for storage and special events but no longer needs the space, according to city documents.

What’s next

After the commission unanimously recommended approval for the special permit, the request will be considered by City Council.
