Lady Lake Playground to Close for 3 Weeks for Remodel
Pyramid Park, also known as the Lady Lake Playground, will be closed for three weeks starting July 21 as staff installs new playground equipment. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to bringing the community a new and improved playground, hand-selected by you!
Earlier this year, the Lady Lake Parks and Recreation Department outreached to area children to gather their input in choosing between two new playground options. Through votes taken at The Villages Elementary of Lady Lake, the Lady Lake Library and via the Town’s Facebook page, a majority of children opted for Design Option 1.
The chosen playground structure, in vibrant red, blue and yellow hues, includes several slides, a spinner, a rope climber, and various decks and platforms. It is specifically geared toward kids aged 5-12 with a focus on safety.
With approval from the Town Commission, and at a cost of approximately $270,000, the playground will be paid for through impact fees. The structure will be built by BCI Burke, a company based in Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin. The new structure will replace aging equipment that was removed earlier this year, and will complement existing equipment that children have come to love.
