FRONTIER PARK INFANT SWING
RECOMMENDATION:
Receive and file.
BACKGROUND:
At a recent Council meeting, David McMahon requested that the City Council
install additional in~ant swings at Frontier Park. At the time, staff was
certain that a new tot play apparatus was installed in 1984; however, staff was
not sure if the apparatus had swings. Since that time, staff has confirmed that
this play structure includes safety infant swings. This tot apparatus is less
than fifty feet from where the previous swing set was located. This tot
apparatus is very close to the former swing set, and it does include infant
swings.
As Council will recall, the Frontier Park neighbors were represented by a Mrs.
Thomas, who requested that pre-school children have a play area designated
especially for them. Council concurred, and in October 1983, the City Council
appropriated $10,000. in order to design, construct and install a new pre-school
play area in Frontier Park. This unbudgeted item was in response to those
residents who had pre-school children, i.e., under five years old. The bid
package for this play area specifically lists "two belt swings with infant
bucket seats."
Unless directed otherwise by the City Council, staff will not purchase another
swing set.
