Improvements to the Neff Park playground equipment and walkways in La Mirada are nearing completion.

The new playground will include swings, slides, climbers, ladders and other play features. Musical themed equipment, such as chimes and drums, were also added. The play area consists of two separate structures; one for children ages 2-5 and the other for children ages 6-12. Additional improvements include resilient rubberized accessible playground surfacing, new benches and a drinking fountain. A cement path connecting the playground to the restroom and parking lot was also added for improved accessibility.

“The new playground equipment will be enjoyed by the many children who visit Neff Park,” says Mayor Larry Mowles. “This project is one of many capital improvements presently being completed to update our infrastructure and maintain our quality of life.”

The work is expected to be finished in about two weeks. Other playgrounds are set to be upgraded this year at Frontier Park, the Community Gymnasium, and Anna J Martin Park.

“Neff Park is where we provide our summer day camp programs,” says Community Services Director Lori Thompson. “We are excited that the day camp participants will have a new playground to explore this summer.”
