Rajzer said Hampton Park is approaching 20 years from the original construction.

“This playground is heavily utilized, especially due to the proximity to St. Andrew’s,” Rajzer said.

The approval was again only for conceptual and schematic design. The proposal cost was $32,000, according to Board documents.

The projects will come back to the Board for further approvals at a later date.
