The long awaited playground at Adams Elementary was installed last Saturday as an effort to upgrade the 1980's style playground and to meet current federal safety codes.

Kompan equipment, which has been popular at many parks popping up in Ballard, has a 360-degree play philosophy, giving kids a new and exciting way to move, Alison Krupnick, Grounds Renovation project manager and Adams Elementary parents previously told the Ballard News-Tribune.

Since the excavation of the playground’s area cost a little more than they had expected, Krupnick said they will be reevaluating their funding, but they do plan to put in adjustable basketball hoops, a wall ball and with funds permitting they hope to also put in one more piece of play equipment.
