Kings Park Round-Up: Demolition Towards New Playground Begins

KINGS PARK, NY — It has been a busy week in the Town of Smithtown, according to the Supervisor's Office.

Here's what residents of Kings Park should know.

Milling and paving along Park Avenue, Collins Avenue and Meridian Avenue are scheduled to begin this week. Prior to paving, the Town's Highway Department completed major drainage repairs and concrete restoration in the area. These improvements to the infrastructure will help prevent flood damage and ensure the roads stay in peak condition.

The Town's Parks Department will begin demolition work in anticipation of a brand new state-of-the-art playground at Kings Park Memorial, starting on Monday. The new playground will feature a jungle-gym with multiple levels, climbing stations, two slides, and new turf surfacing.

The Kings Park Municipal Parking Lot project earned a $500K Jumpstart from the Suffolk County Executive, which will aid the Town in creating a more pedestrian friendly downtown that supports local business. The funding will build a municipal parking lot in downtown Kings Park just off Pulaski and Main Street.
