Madison Parks is working on playground improvements at Oak Park Heights Park (aka Piper Park). The project aims to modernize and update aging equipment and to promote accessibility across our immense park playground system. After input from area residents during two public input meetings, Parks had planned to preserve the older metal jungle gym feature at the park. Due to internal miscommunication, the jungle gym, along with the other aging equipment, was removed in October 2023. The equipment was deconstructed in a manner that made re-installation infeasible.  Parks sincerely regrets this mistake and recognizes the negative impact this has on the neighborhood. Parks has been in contact with Alder Tishler and as part of the conversation with the Alder, it was determined Parks staff would attend the Midvale Heights Community Association meeting in late Oct. 2023. Parks staff were available to answer questions and discuss options for moving forward and from that meeting, the idea of another follow-up meeting with the neighborhood to review equipment options for installation in the playground in Spring 2024 came forward.
