LEWES, Del. – Installation of the new playground at Canalfront Park is nearly finished, with workers assembling the final components, including a sailing ship centerpiece. City officials say the playground should be completed in April, but the final surfacing cannot be poured until temperatures remain above 50 degrees for seven consecutive days, including overnight. City Manager Ellen Lorraine McCabe confirmed that site grading, landscaping, and drainage work are now underway. The new play area, designed for improved safety and accessibility, will also include a small sliding board and seating areas. The project’s total cost is just under $400,000, with funding support from a $125,000 grant from the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control. The city has also applied for an additional $100,000 grant.
