Originally proposed in a 2016, the Universal Playground was approved by the city council Fernald Reuse Committee on January 22, 2018. Funding was approved by the city council on December 11, 2023. I think this will be something that makes Waltham stand out and people of all abilities will enjoy this property in a historic and unprecedented way. Cambridge built one in 2022 and it has been very well received. Please see the design drawings below. These came from the bid document created by NESRA Engineering, a company that specializes in designing parks, playgrounds and recreational areas. They have designed several other Waltham parks and playgrounds.
