More than 200 adults and children joined city of Georgetown officials July 2 to celebrate the opening of the Creative Playscape in San Gabriel Park.
Originally built in 1993, the playscape underwent a complete redesign to help bring the aging structure up to current Americans with Disabilities Act and Texas Health and Safety Code standards.
The new play area was designed through a public input process that involved individuals who had helped design the original structure and incorporates pieces of the former structure in the new playscape, Georgetown Public Communications Manager Keith Hutchinson said.
The primary result from the public input process was a creative-themed play environment that pays tribute to the past, recognizes the progression of and celebrates the continued growth of Georgetown for the next generation, Mayor Dale Ross said.
The area is divided into five sections tracking the citys history from presettlement to its earliest settlers to a metal play area representing the new millennium. The structure also features musical instruments and a play structure depicting building facades from the Square.
