Demolition on the existing playground will begin Monday, Feb. 13, 2023 and the projected completion date of the new playground will be late April 2023. The current playground will be available for play through Sunday, Feb. 12 and then will not be accessible to the public during construction.

There will be signage posted at the site advising the public to stay away. Please report any safety matters after hours or during weekends to the Fort Mill Police Department (803-547-2022) or during the work week (Monday through Friday, 8:30 a.m. - 5 p.m.) to the Fort Mill Parks & Recreation Department (803-547-2273).
