La Mirada- A four-year effort to upgrade and replace equipment at all of the city's six playgrounds is nearing an end as the final two projects at Windermere and Gardenhill Parks will be completed by next month.

Safety features at the two parks include the installation of a rubberized playground surface as well new walkways that are ADA compliant. 

Unique playground features are sure to capture the minds of La Mirada's youngsters. 

(Opinion- These are not off-the-shelf playgrounds. A lot of thought was put into what will likely become another jewel in La Mirada, at least in the eyes of a kid.)

The fencing should come down in about a week at Windemere Park, and in January at Gardenhill Park.

Work began on the  $771,000 project in late September.

The playground upgrades at Gardenhill Park should be completed next month
