Both parks in Sheffield will also be receiving new playground equipment in the coming months. The new equipment for all three parks were a combined $57,825.63, which came in under the budget of $60,000 that the commissioner’s set earlier in the year. The new equipment will include 6-foot slides for each park, climbing walls, swings, rocker horses, a jungle gym, and a few other playground items. New sand was provided in playground areas for safety. Courtesy Photo
