<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Thanks for your ongoing support during the
<a href="https://sfrecpark.org/1551/Stern-Grove-Playground-Renovation">Stern Grove Playground Renovation</a>. The custom playground equipment looks great, and we can’t wait to open to the public!

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Right now, the contractor is focused on planting, signage installation, and other finishing touches. Unfortunately, the opening of the new playground has been rescheduled to
<b>mid-September</b> (date TBD) as there have been unforeseen delays getting the playground surfacing installed. Installation of the surfacing is currently planned for mid-August and will take around two weeks to complete. After that, final inspections for
code compliance will occur. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As soon as we have an opening celebration date, we will share it with you all!<o:p></o:p></span></p>
