The Livermore Area Recreation and Park District has launched the first phase of its playground replacement program by installing new playgrounds at Jack Williams, Bill Clark and Ida Holm parks.
LARPD officials said in an announcement last week that work began on April 22 and is set for completion by the end of May.
“These three parks were identified based on an evaluation of age and condition,” said LARPD parks and facilities manager Fred Haldeman. “The playground at Bill Clark was originally installed in 1985, while Jack Williams and Ida Holm were installed in 1999. This program is part of LARPD’s commitment to providing safe and engaging recreational spaces for the community.”
As part of the ongoing program, LARPD aims to address deferred maintenance by prioritizing two playground replacements annually.
Features at the new playgrounds include integrated shade structures and modern equipment designed for safety and fun with a range of play elements geared toward children of all ages.
Once construction is complete, residents will be invited to explore the new playgrounds.
The three parks will also be featured as part of the Livermore Public Library’s Storytime in the Park series this summer, with Bill Clark Park on July 13, Ida Holm Park on Aug. 3 and Jack Williams Park on Aug. 10.
Bill Clark Park is located at 5451 Hillflower Drive, Jack Williams is at 2041 Neptune Road and the Ida Holm Park address is 1106 Crystal Circle.
