New playground (continued from page 3) climbers, musical chimes, paddle ball panels, a cyclone and swings. It has stations accessible from ground level and ramps for wheelchair use, with an asphalt walk for easy access from the road. The state-of-the-art playground was purchased through a state contract and installed by Ben Shaffer of Lake Hopatcong, a state-certified installer, who also designed the facility. The $98,000 total cost was funded from the Municipal Open Space Trust Fund. Borough efforts to secure Community Development funding were unsuc- cessful, Kratz said. To further enhance Borough Park, the borough is now working to install a second pavilion across the road from the playground and adjacent to Branagh Field. The project will be funded with a $35,000 County Open Space grant, and funds from the borough’s Open Space Trust.
