PROPOSED New Playground

Welcome to the Conceptual Design of the Pioneer Park Playground!

Pioneer Park, the community, and many Halloween Trick or Treat Town sponsors have worked tirelessly for today’s announcement. Below you can see the first step in a new, Alaskan themed, inclusive playground at the Park. With the help of FNSB Parks and Recreation staff, Bettisworth North Architects, community members, Landscape Structures Incorporated, Exerplay Inc., and Northwest Playgrounds, we present the conceptual design for the Park’s new playground. Below you will see a video that will fly your through both a Summer scene and a Winter scene. Yay for ice skating!!  You can also click the additional link to visit the design through a 360-degree walking tour.
Go play, have fun and begin sharing the fantastic news with the community!
