City Council approved the creation of a new playscape in Upper Park at its regular meeting Oct. 15.
The project, which is funded by the Rollingwood Community Development Committee, will cost $48,625.75. The equipment must be ordered before the end of the year to avoid a cost increase.
Council heard a proposal from the Parks Commission in August but asked to see alternatives to the proposal, which included a large baseball and baseball bat in the park.
Alderman Sara Hutson said she wasn't sure the bat and ball would be fun to play on for children at the park.
