Its playground <br />was assembled by staff in 1985. Wooden timbers (6" x 6") bound the play area, with the play area <br />not accessible via an ADA access path. The playground uses pea gravel for surfacing. <br />The playground consists of a single wooden play structure with a tire swing and a metal pull-up bar. <br />The tire itself is in good condition, but the chain it is attached to is rusted and shows wear. The top <br />surface of the play structure consists of five parallel wooden planks, all of which are loose (with the <br />exception of the second -to -rightmost plank). There are two means of entry, neither of which are <br />ADA-compliant. One is a ladder with two metal bars serving as steps. The other is a curved surface <br />with narrow gaps for footholds, comprised of eight wooden planks, all of which are fully attached. <br />The flat surface between this surface and the top surface (which is three inches above this surface) <br />is comprised of six wooden planks (none of which are fully secured) perpendicular to those on the <br />top surface and parallel to those on the curved surface. There is a single straight stainless steel slide, <br />which is in fair condition, (however it is South facing, which is not desirable). The terms of this <br />Interim Playground Replacement Policy point to the playground components' removal, without <br />replacement. <br />Figure 24: Autumn Heights Park Playground <br />11 <br />
