<strong>Burr</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Community Center <strong>Ad</strong>dition<br />
Visitors to <strong>the</strong> <strong>Burr</strong> <strong>Ridge</strong> Community Center will notice construction in progress. A 4,587 square foot addition<br />
project is currently on schedule and <strong>the</strong> District anticipates completion no later than January, 2013. The<br />
addition includes a large programming room <strong>with</strong> divider wall allowing flexible usage, two single service<br />
washrooms, expanded lobby seating, additional storage, and a small program room renovation. Staff is excited<br />

Harvester Park Playground Renovation 2012<br />
As of August, most of <strong>the</strong> main playground at Harvester Park will be closed for remodeling, <strong>with</strong> a scheduled<br />
completion of October 26, 2012. Renovations will include expansion of 3-5 year old play activities and sand<br />
play equipment, water interactive play and a mini-splash playground, and renovated and <strong>new</strong> equipment for<br />
5-12 year olds. A number of <strong>the</strong> scheduled improvements are custom built items never before featured in a<br />
park setting. Our residents may not get to experience a full season of usage in 2012, as <strong>the</strong> playground will<br />
be closed most of this fall, but come Spring of 2013, we are certain you will thoroughly enjoy <strong>the</strong> <strong>new</strong> recreational<br />
experiences available at your community park.<br />
Tree Of Life<br />
Youngsters will marvel at this 12 foot high structure which allows<br />

Tree of Life<br />
Babbling Creek<br />
Every child loves to play <strong>with</strong> and manipulate water, particularly in a creek. Parents need that to<br />
be a safe creek. This custom designed 40 foot long waterway will feature hand pumps, operable<br />
water gates and dikes, temporary marshes, and plenty of opportunity to get hands wet and build<br />
dams and tributaries.<br />
Mini-Splash Pad<br />
Three push button water spray features will allow children to cool off, keep playing, and get wet.<br />
Integrated <strong>with</strong>in <strong>the</strong> <strong>new</strong> elements, but offset enough to not impede play in those areas, <strong>the</strong> splash<br />
pad adds just <strong>the</strong> right amount of water fun <strong>with</strong>out changing <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>me or style of <strong>the</strong> greater park.<br />
We did not desire a main feature splash pad, but a smaller water opportunity that did not overwhelm<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r park amenities.
