LADY LAKE, FL (352today.com) – Kids in the Town of Lady Lake will soon be able to climb and slide on a shiny, new, colorful playground equipment.
The playground at Pyramid Park is getting a makeover.
For all intents and purposes, kids should love it. Afterall, they chose it. The Lady Lake Parks and Recreation Department got input from kids who could choose between two playground options.
Parks & Rec collected votes from kids at The Villages Elementary of Lady Lake, the Lady Lake Library and on the Town’s Facebook page.
The town says the majority of children opted for Design Option 1.

The selected structure has vibrant red, blue and yellow hues and includes:
- several slides
- a spinner
- a rope climber
- various decks and platforms
“It is specifically geared toward kids aged 5-12 with a focus on safety,” said the Town of Lady Lake in a news release. “The new structure will replace aging equipment that was removed earlier this year and will complement existing equipment that children have come to love.”
The playground equipment will cost approximately $270,000 and will be paid for through impact fees.
Town leaders say when the installation begins, the entire playground area will be closed for two weeks. They say they will notify residents via Facebook, the Town website, and signage.
