The City of Mount Pleasant is reminding families that this week is the final opportunity to enjoy the United Thru Play Playground before it’s replaced.
Sunday, July 19th, will be the last day the playground is open to the public. Beginning Monday, July 20th, the playground will be closed and barricaded while Parks and Recreation staff prepare the site for demolition.
During the closure, staff will carefully remove the commemorative family bricks, handprints, and personalized wooden sticks before demolition begins on Monday, July 27th.
Anyone who has already contacted the Parks and Recreation Department about retrieving their commemorative family brick, handprint, or personalized wooden stick will be contacted with pickup information once a date has been set and arrangements have been finalized.
The City extends their appreciation to the community for their patience and support as work begins on a new playground.
For questions or more information, please contact Mt. Pleasant Parks and Recreation Assistant Director, Ashley Lohmann at 319-385-1475 or via email at ashley@citymtpia.com.
