Playground Construction Set To Begin In Duluth's Lincoln Park

Great news for families near Lincoln Park in Duluth as another improvement to the area is about to get underway.

The City of Duluth Parks and Recreation division announced this week that construction will begin on Monday, November 14 on the Lincoln Park Improvement Project, starting with removal of the current playground equipment to make way for new and improved recreation facilities to be added starting in spring 2023.

According to the City of Duluth, the existing playground will be disassembled this fall and will be used for replacement parts at other compatible playgrounds throughout the City.

The next step comes next spring, when the park will be closed for an extended period of time in order to construct new and rehabilitate existing park amenities.

There will be a lot of great changes and improvements when this portion of the project is completed, including restoration of the historic stone pavilion to include new ADA restroom facilities, relocation and replacement of the playground, two new parking lots, a new nature playscape, new and refurbished picnic pavilions, a new multi-use sport court, accessible trails, and lighting.
