Playground construction is underway at Roanoke Park, which is located at 70th Avenue Southeast and West Mercer Way. According to the city of Mercer Island, the renovated play area will feature new equipment, accessible poured-in-place play area surfacing and pathways, an updated picnic area, ADA parking, and a new drainage system. The city added that despite rainy March weather, R&R Construction has completed site demolition and surveying and is now working on grading work to install a new play area curbing and drainage. Construction will continue for two to three more months, including waiting for a warm, dry weather window to install the accessible play area surfacing. Photo courtesy of the city of Mercer Island
