PHASE 2
NALA PLAYGROUND NEW CONSTRUCTION
Phase 2 of this project is the design, construction and installation
of new equipment for the NALA playground. These items include work in the
playground and some general exterior building maintenance. These are our
minimum goals for this project.
FENCING
- The perimeter
masonry wall around the playground is too low and allows easy access for
outside individuals. We are proposing to install an ornamental railing on
top of the existing wall. This railing should have 3-1/2’ spacing and be
painted to match the wall and building
- This
metal railing will also be installed on 2 area of the existing structure
to keep outsiders off of the roof
- Also
we are planning to install a 48’ high chain link fence closing off the
back corner of the play ground. This is being done at the request of the
SNHD but will allow us pace for a new “growing area”. This fence will have
the plastic inserts to make it non-climbable and a 42”high latch on the
gate. Please the site plan for its location.
SHADE AREAS
By closing off the back corner of the playground we are
eliminating the trees that are there from the shade calculations for the entire
playground. We will now have to furnish and install a new shade structure of
300SQ FT minimum to compensate. The specifications for this structure are still
pending.
PLAYGROUND AREA
- We are
proposing to furnish an entirely new piece of playground equipment.
Although the exact determination of the equipment has not been determined
it will include a new swing, slide and climbing area.
- We are
also planning to install a new rubberized play surface under this
equipment.
- Also
we are going to be removing the existing concrete curb around the play
area so that the new rubber surface will align with the existing concrete for ADA
GROWING AREA
On the east side of the playground we are planting a growing
area. The facility plans to plant various plants to show the children how
things grow. This area will also include benches to allow for outside classroom
presentations or readings.
TOYS
We will be making a bulk purchase of tricycle and other
playground equipment for the facility including 12” Angeles Tricycles (20),
balls, jump ropes, hula hoops
LANDSCAPING
At this time we will be doing a general re-landscaping of
the entire project changing from dead grass to water conservative plants and
rocks. See the landscaping plan for all of the details
PAVEMENT
The existing asphalt pavement needs to be repaired and
resurfaced.
EXTERIOR PAINTING
- Our
plan is to repaint all of the exterior masonry fence and the existing
building. This will include sanding and repainting the wood trims.
- Also
we will be repainting the curbs
- Restriping
of the parking stall lines
SIGNAGE
- We are
planning to furnish and install a new NALA sign on the building
- Also
scheduled is a plaque recognizing the participants of this project.
