Bridgeport Memorial Playground To Close To Public For Months

BRIDGEPORT, PA — The Bridgeport Memorial Playground will shut down for months as reconstruction work gets underway.

The closure will run from June 29 through some point in the fall.

Crews will be removing existing structures and rubber mulch before installing new playground equipment and surfacing later in the year, Bridgeport officials announced.

"The borough thanks you for your patience and flexibility as we work to improve the safety and adequacy of the recreational offerings at the Park," the borough said in a statement.

Visitors to the park can still access a different playground, the neighboring Cpl. John H. Todd III Memorial Playground, which will remain open during the work.

The Memorial Playground is located in Bridgeport Memorial Park.
