    Picnic table on the cement pad would be ideal!

    The city plans to add two benches on the cement.

    This looks nice from afar, but viewed from up close it's a nasty piece of work. These shelters wont last the summer, by which time they will be an eyesore at best or a safety hazzard at worst. Much of the materials are of such poor quality that they should not have been used: a crack runs almost the full length of one of the supporting 2x8 beams - this should have been thrown out, but instead it was braced with offcuts. There is no underlay for the cedar shingles which means a soccer ball or even a branch will fall straight through the roof. The construction is of terrible workmanship too. One of the bracing beams hasn't been screwed in properly, so anyone tall enough could pull it right off with zero effort. If I was to do a chin-up on the others they would likely fall down too.... not that I go around doing chip-ups, but others might

    Yeah and the sandbox is way to small. The old one was way better, 3 times the size with a wood edge you could sit on. Kids are now fighting for real estate in there and the cat shit is soon going to overflow it. Hope there are more benches around the splash pad too.

    benches will be nice but a larger sandbox would have been even better

    Thanks for the update Guy. Shoddy workmanship, on what appears to be a simply project, is always disappointing to see
