OCALA, FL (352today.com) – If your kids love playing at Tuscawilla Park, here’s a heads-up: parts of the playground will be temporarily closed over the next few weeks for upgrades and maintenance.

According to city officials, crews will be installing new play equipment, giving structures a fresh coat of paint, and making other repairs. The closures will happen in rotating sections, so while some areas are off-limits, others will stay open for families to enjoy.

Visitors are asked to steer clear of barricaded zones and stay at a safe distance from any heavy equipment.

The rest of the park, including walking paths, open spaces, and picnic spots, will remain open throughout the project.
