Project Purpose and Scope:

The purpose of this project is to design, develop construction documents, and provide construction administration services for the renovation of the Grand Canyon Playground. The overall renovations will include ADA/Safety improvements, new play structures, shade, and supporting amenities, with a focus on unstructured play, accessibility, and community engagement.

Los Alamos County is planning improvements to the Grand Canyon playground and invites the community to share input.

About the Project:

Planned playground improvements focus on:

ADA accessibility and safety enhancements
New play structures and supporting amenities
Shade and inclusive, unstructured play opportunities
Improved neighborhood pedestrian connections

Grand Canyon Park: The focus will be on shade, play structures and supporting amenities with good trail and neighborhood connections. This playground renovation includes a proposed site change.

The San Ildefonso and Grand Canyon Playlots were noted as short term action items in the 2023 CSD Integrated Master Plan and the 2023 American with Disabilities Audit and Transition Plan.

This project is currently in the design phase. The construction phase will take place at a later date. Once the timeline for construction is finalized, the public will be notified of the planned start and completion dates.

How to Participate

Community members are encouraged to participate in the project by attending community meetings, either in person or virtually via Zoom. Community members can also provide feedback by completing project surveys.

Your input will help the project team better understand community priorities, needs, and preferences as the project moves through the design process.
