New playground coming to Peter Thompson Park

Posted

The new playground installation for Peter Thompson Park is underway and is expected to be completed by Tuesday, May 30. It is currently unclear when the playground will officially reopen, but once wood fiber chips are in place, the park will be ready for play.

Peter Thompson Park was one of four parks chosen for new playground equipment this year. Highlands Park, Pine Tree Pond Park and Ideal Park were also slated for a playground installation upgrade.

Peter Thompson Park is in the Highland Hills development of Cottage Grove located at 6327 Highland Hills Blvd. S. It is connected by a trail system to the north and Meadow Grass Park to the south. Along with the playground, Peter Thompson Park features a half basketball court, a baseball/softball field, a hockey rink, grills, a picnic shelter with restrooms, a soccer field, and parking lot.
