The Tyler Area AMBUCS, Tyler Sunrise Rotary, the City of Tyler, and Child&#8217;s Play Incorporated of Dallas have teamed together to design the  playground. The proposed all-inclusive playground would replace the current structure at Southside Park. It would be funded through donations from the community.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Getting our children fit and active is an important part of maintaining a healthy community,&#8221; said Parks Director Stephanie Rollings. &#8220;A great facility like this will give children and parents, of all abilities, the opportunity to play and enjoy the outdoors.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The new and improved Southside Park will include two age-appropriate playgrounds, an enclosed sports court, a music garden and an updated pavilion. It will also include ramps and turf to make it easier for children, parents, and anyone in a wheelchair access. An estimated $750,000 will need to be raised to pay for the equipment. Once the funds are raised, the donation will need to be officially accepted by the City Council. <\/p>\n<p>A community build is scheduled for June, subject to completion of the fundraising. Leading up to the build, installation crews with Child&#8217;s Play Incorporated will lay out the playground and the City of Tyler Parks Department will do the concrete work. Southside is a highly utilized park south of the intersection of Shiloh Road and Donnybrook Avenue. This popular park features picnic areas, restrooms, pavilions, a large playground area, and hike and bike trails. Playground equipment was last installed at the park 11 years ago. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TYLER &#8212; The Tyler City Council has approved the plans for a brand new all-inclusive playground at Southside Park.
