Last week the City broke ground on a new children's playground at the Belle Haven Youth Center as part of a City Council approved Capital Improvement Project for this fiscal year. The City Council approved the approximately $228,000 project at its Dec. 15, 2015, meeting. The total budget includes a $25,000 grant from San Mateo County’s community development block grant program. The new playground structure will replace one that is over 50 years old and will meet all current playground and Americans with Disabilities Act standards for similar play structures. We anticipate the playground will be well received by the children of the Belle Haven After School program and a nice addition to the Belle Haven neighborhood. The scheduled opening in late May/early June will include a celebratory ribbon cutting ceremony.
