  • Fruitdale Park Playground Replacement Survey

    This survey shows the 3 concept options under consideration for a new playground at Fruitdale Park. In all 3 options, the current play structures would be removed, the surfacing would be engineered wood fiber filled closer to the brim of the play pit, and only the northern half of the current play pit would be used. The southern half of the play pit is being considered for a future sand volleyball court. All 3 concept options are ADA compliant and are from vendors who have installed other successful playgrounds in Wheat Ridge.

    The first page shows an angle of each concept option with high-level amenity details. If you would like more information on the options, please see the "Documents" tab with more information on all 3 concepts. The subsequent survey pages ask for feedback on the concept options.
