Irmo Community Park Playground Temporarily Closed

IRMO, S.C. – The playground at the Irmo Community Park is temporarily out of commission. Announced via the Town of Irmo’s Facebook page, the closure comes as the park undergoes an upgrade to the safety padding beneath its play equipment.

Officials have expressed regret for any disruption to patrons’ planned activities, but stress that these enhancements are crucial to ensure the safety of all children using the facility. No definitive timeline has been given for the completion of these improvements, but officials have affirmed that they are keen on reopening the playground for the public as soon as possible.

Background Information

The playground closure is temporary, with the primary focus on upgrading the safety padding beneath the equipment. This improvement aims to enhance the safety profile of the popular play area, providing additional shock-absorption and reducing the risk of injuries.
