Welcome to the Kenmore Elementary Playground Renewal Project
The existing playground at Kenmore Elementary School in Kenmore, Washington fails to meet
the needs of the students and surrounding community. Risk Management has found
that the playground fails to meet current safety standards in many areas. Most of the current playground equipment was installed well
before the current safety standards were released in 1991. Kenmore Elementary is the oldest elementary school
in the district. Most equipment was installed when the playground was built over 50 years ago. The Kenmore Elementary Playground
Improvement team was established in February 2008 to support the building of a
playground that all the students can use in a safe and inviting manner. We will be restoring old equipment as well as adding a new play structure, X-wave, Toss Up basketball hoop, and Play Web.
