RESCHEDULED: Leon County to Unveil New Playground, Exciting Upgrades at J. Lewis Hall Sr. Woodville Park
Due to inclement weather, the ribbon-cutting event for the new playground and exciting upgrades at J. Lewis Hall Sr. Woodville Park, originally scheduled for Thursday, April 11 at 10:30 a.m., will be rescheduled. For further information and updates on the rescheduled celebration, sign up for Leon County news and alerts or follow Leon County social media pages to stay informed.
The new J. Lewis Hall Sr. Woodville Park Playground features a nature-inspired theme with a large tree trunk representing a tree house to promote outdoor play and exploration. The County playground focuses on kids ages two through 12 by including both high slides and small ground-level tree trunks for climbing. The playground is fully ADA-accessible with an ADA transfer station for wheelchairs and other mobility devices, an inclusive swing, and several ground-level play features.
Â
In addition to the replacement of the playground, other County park amenities have been enhanced to enrich the facility. Improvements include restroom renovations, new fencing, a resurfaced parking lot, and an updated scoreboard for the softball/baseball field. The new features enhance the park’s safety and usability.
At the rescheduled ribbon-cutting event, County Parks and Recreation staff will give a short presentation about the playground's special features and updates. Following the presentation, children in attendance will be encouraged to use the new playground.
