We understand that construction has stopped on the nearly completed Schell Park Playground near the corner of West 6th St and Boulevard.

The rumor is that the Parks Maintenance Division was told to stop work due to possible contamination in the area. There are emails out to work out the particulars of this issue.

There is possible contamination south of the Basketball courts where the old “upper pond” used to be. But this is the first we have heard of that area being a concern.
