Milburn Park

KABOOM! and the City of Lancaster are partnering with the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources and the Pennsylvania Municipal League to redesign Milburn Park! Part of the redesign will be a brand new play structure! Students from King Elementary, Phoenix Academy, Washington Elementary, and Boys & Girls Club provided the initial feedback used to create two proposed playground designs. Input from the neighborhood and local kids will help us finalize the design of the play structure and the park.

Please view the overall park plan and video and the two proposed playground equipment designs below, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to take the survey.
