The Sugar Land City Council accepted a $200,000 donation at its March 17 meeting to be used for the construction of the city's first universally accessible playground. The funds were raised through a capital campaign launched by the Sugar Land Legacy Foundation, said Doug Adolph, assistant director of communications for Sugar Land. The new playground will replace the existing playground at First Colony Park. The playground surface will be made of a bonded rubber material suitable for wheelchairs and those in need of a more even surface to access the equipment. Platforms on the playground will be longer and will include ramps to make the playground accessible to children with disabilities. The Legacy Foundation's donation will be combined with $200,000 identified by the Sugar Land 4B Corporation to construct the $400,000 playground. Construction is expected to begin in April or May with completion slated for late July, city officials said.
