Vote for the New Anchorage Playground

Your help is needed as the Village of North Palm Beach looks to install a new playground in Anchorage Park. Here are details from the Village of North Palm Beach website:

Anchorage Park at 603 Anchorage Drive is getting a new playground! 

The new pieces will replace the existing equipment, in the same spot. The only piece of equipment that will be staying is the new merry-go-round that was installed a few months back. The small pavilions will also be staying.

“We are really excited to be bringing a new playground to Anchorage Park, especially one that is full of shade, shade, shade!” says Village of North Palm Beach Director of Leisure Services Zak Sherman.

“During the Needs Assessment that was conducted last year, we heard residents voice their concerns that shade for playgrounds is a big priority.”

“That’s why our final two designs have massive amounts of shade.”

To help move the process forward, the Village is asking residents to select their favorite playground design through a community survey, and the winning design will be constructed in the upcoming year.
Families can view the two design options and vote via online survey or in person at Anchorage Park Activities building, 603 Anchorage Dr.

The survey is open until 8:00 p.m. April 18, 2022.

You can take the survey HERE, where you can see pictures of the two proposals.

The purpose is to gather feedback which will help to ensure that the new playground meets the needs of the community, so please spread it to any and all that you know who use the playground. The survey should take approximately 5-10 minutes.

Thank you for taking the time to share your input!
