Overview: At the recent Bloomingdale Borough Council meeting, a substantial grant from Green Acres was announced. The $750,000 grant, combined with approximately $500,000 from open space grants, will fund the development of a modern playground at Bo Pond. The anticipated project, slated for early spring, will feature a rubberized floor to ensure safety and accessibility for all children. This initiative comes as the existing playground reaches over 30 years in age. The beloved gazebo dedicated to a child on SRA Lane will remain a centerpiece of the park, and acknowledgments were made to those instrumental in securing the grants.
