Orange
Summary
Two 20-plus-year-old playgrounds are worn out, and the city can only afford to replace one this year with $800,000. The commission chose Eisenhower's lower playground; Hart Park stays on the list for next year. Commissioner Kushon wants the city's unused sponsorship program tapped to help pay for more.
