This week, the Town of Warwick DPW will be removing the playground at Airport Park. The playground will soon be replaced with a fully grant-funded playground thanks to funds secured by Senator James Skoufis. The installation process will begin the week of March 17 and will take several weeks to complete. The town will be incorporating a rubberized matting system as the floor of the playground rather than mulch to ensure those with disabilities may enjoy the playground. Please be patient during this process and stay out of the work area until all fencing has been removed. In addition, we will replace the eye sore of a guiderail that surrounds the park with new wooden fencing that fits the character of the neighborhood. This is just the start of a complete upgrade to every town park within the town of Warwick. The town board and I are making some incredible plans to upgrade our facilities so stay tuned for more exciting announcements.
