Playgrounds are typically replaced about every 15 years. The Howarth Park playground was built in 1987. The playground is being designed for two age groups: 2 to 5 and 5 to 12-year old. It is also being designed with inclusive elements so people of all ages and abilities will be able to access the play areas, participate and be challenged. The playground design has been presented at both Howarth neighborhood meetings and Park Board meetings to allow input towards the goals and types of equipment for the new playground. Playground replacement work includes demolition of the existing playground, removal of the engineered wood fiber surfacing system, construction of a new rubber tile surfacing system, installation of the new playground equipment and certification of the design and installation. The work for this project is planned to begin in the Fall of 2021 and should take approximately six months to complete. The Howarth Park Playground will be purchased using a purchasing cooperative contract, in compliance with the City of Everett procurement requirements.
