The plans include putting playground equipment on the hill with slides going down it, climbers and nets with safety surfacing. The renovations will add 3,200 square feet to the Kid's Cove.

“These new updates will enhance the overall play experience for children and provide a fun way for children to climb and slide down the hillside," said Michael Kirschman, director of VBPR.

The project is expected to cost $1.6 million, and it will be fully ADA-compliant.

VBPR says it should be finished by late next summer.
