Early in the planning phase a decision was ade to return South Lea McKeighan Park to a more traditional neighborhood park with walking trails, a park shelter, playground, restrooms and open play areas.
Roland-Story set out to do a major playground renovation and one of their main goals was to have community involvement and get the very best playground for their money.
The main issue was poor drainage which turned the existing play area into muddy mess every time it rained.
