Isn't this the same playground that they spent tons of money on to build just a couple of years ago?

Exactly! My sister-in-law too. I have known four senior citizens with MRSA this year. One was in the hospital for seven weeks. Another two months--in and out of Albany Med. Some folks really get critically ill from it.
EDITORIALS Tribulations in Tiny Tot Land: finally, a fix?
It’s nothing short of outrageous that the city of Schenectady has had to close its popular, handicapped-accessible kiddie playground in the height of summer because of a problem it knew about nearly two years ago. Granted, before a spate of negative media coverage finally made its telephone ring yesterday, the city had been getting something of a runaround from the subcontractor who, in the fall of 2008, installed the $141,000 rubberized floor for the Central Park playground. As yesterday’s Gazette story detailed, the floor began to sprout potholes almost immediately (after all, this is Schenectady). Patches were made last summer, but on April 9 this year, a representative of the Ohio-based company came to town, acknowledged that the floor had to be replaced, and promised to do the work as soon as the weather became more hospitable. (The reason the fl oor apparently failed is that it was laid during a too-cool, toowet stretch of weather, and the adhesive never took.) But the promise went unfulfilled for weeks, then months; and more than three months later, the floor had deteriorated to the point where the playground had to be closed. (Funny, the city doesn’t do that with its roads, at least some of which are also liabilities.)...............>>>>...............>>>>...........http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00701&AppName=1
Free movie passes? WTF! At the Bow Tie theater in "renaissanceville". That will do wonders for the heavy kids. Make sure to pass the free butter flavored popcorn. Another new low in editorial writing.
Only the Gazetto could write this nonsense without a mention of the pathetic Mayor {that also wants to close 3 of 4 pools} and the do nothing rubber stamps. Is he still Mayor "for life"-lol-
Tiny Tot Land bounces back By Cathy Woodruff Staff Writer Published: 12:00 a.m., Wednesday, September 1, 2010
SCHENECTADY -- Tiny tots can play once again at Tiny Tot Land.
The Central Park playground's faulty spongy rubber surface has been replaced with a new one and the gates are again open, just under the wire for the end of summer vacation, city officials say.
The city locked down the popular play area, designed with disabled and very young children in mind, at the end of June because of concerns that kids and adults could trip on the torn ground covering.
A subcontractor that installed the recycled-rubber surface, Ohio-based Playscapes, had stopped responding to the city's appeals to replace the surface despite a five-year warranty and promises to fix it.
The renovated playground opened late in 2008, but city officials said its surface began to deteriorate almost immediately. Likely causes for the poor performance included installation during weather that was too cold and too damp, officials have said...........................>>>>..............>>>>........................http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Tiny-Tot-Land-bounces-back-639853.php
When you use sand you can't hire a bunch of subcontractors. Maybe the peacocks will return when Stratton leaves?
