A friend told me that something’s amiss in Memorial Park beside Prospect Lake — that it’s fenced off and they’re building something. They didn’t sell that land off already, did they?

ANSWER: We received your question one day after the city property tax increase was defeated and, no, the city council hadn’t sold off the park land for condos.
The construction fences go around a universally accessible playground announced in 2007 by The Swing High Project and the nonprofit Shane’s Inspiration, in conjunction with the Parks and Recreation Department.
It will be the only one of its kind in our area and will have ramps for those in wheelchairs; harnessed seating; sensory games for those with visual or hearing impairments; a rubberized surface for wheelchairs, walkers or crutches; and elevated sand tables.
