Grove Park Playground Improvements

The Alachua County Parks and Open Space Department is happy to announce the completion of a new playground and ADA accessible sidewalk at Grove Park (6300 S.E. 152 Street, Hawthorne). These improvements provide expanded play amenities and shade over the playground and improved accessibility for the community. 

These improvements were completed with Wild Spaces Public Places funding. The budget was $121,000.

Alachua County Parks and Open Spaces Manager Jason said, “We are very thankful for the Wild Spaces Public Places program, which makes improvements like these possible.”
