Thanks to your feedback in the recent improvement survey, exciting updates could be coming to Southern Colony Park! The top priorities shared by the community include adding more picnic pavilions, expanding the splashpad, and improving the trailway for walking and biking. Many of you also highlighted the importance of better lighting on trails to enhance safety and accessibility.

We loved hearing your creative ideas, like a meditative garden, volleyball courts, and an indoor pavilion space. There’s also a strong desire to see upgrades to playground equipment and more shaded areas for families to enjoy around the splashpad.

We hear your concerns about repairs and funding transparency, and this feedback is so valuable as we plan next steps. These suggestions are helping shape a park that will truly feel like home for everyone in our community.

Stay tuned for updates, and thank you for sharing your voice to make Southern Colony Park even better!

For a detailed look at survey results and specific improvement requests, refer to the Southern Colony Park survey responses.

We sincerely apologize for the delay in repairing the park’s toddler playground area. As with all equipment and facility damages, the repairs had to undergo a company warranty review first. The responses were received and shared with the Board at the recent district meeting. Unfortunately, the repair will be delayed a little longer while alternatives are being considered. Rest assured, the district is committed to ensuring that the repairs are completed properly and that the costs incurred are reasonable and fair.
