The West Lafayette Parks Department recently removed the existing playground at Lincoln Park to replace it with new equipment.
The neighbors, residents, and park users were not involved in the process of selecting the new equipment.
We made a public records request for the options that the City received, listed below. The Parks Department chose to go with Option Five. Which one do you like best?
More details to come.
Option 01
Option 02
Option 03
Option 04
From the West Lafayette Parks Department: “Option 3 & 4 are the same the only difference is the way it was funded in the quote.”
