Upgrade Your Play!
The Upgrade Your Play campaign is the Bristol Parks, Recreation, Youth and Community Services (BPRYCS) Department’s latest endeavor in its mission of delivering high quality facilities to our residents. The department recently installed an entirely new playground, that the community picked out, at Stocks Playground at Casey Field, as well as an array of new swings at Federal Hill Green.
Many residents responded with hopes of new playground equipment at their closest neighborhood playgrounds…. well, we heard you and we’re ready to Upgrade your Play!
Plans are underway for upgraded playgrounds at:
- Seymour Park
- Wilson Park
- Peck Park
- Federal Hill Green and Riordan Playground
Federal Hill Green & Riordan Playground
Located on Maple Street and Queen Street
Federal Hill Green was placed under the control of the park board at its formation in 1913. The Riordan Playground was built in 1974, and named for former Park Commissioner James Riordan.
Status: Voting Open through August 29th
Peck Park
Located on Daly Street
Land for the park was transferred from the Board of Education to the city in 1976. Developed and constructed through Community Development funding and completed in 1977, the park has an established trust fund to cover maintenance under the will of Constant Y. Peck. The entrance to the park is located off of Daley Street, with additional parking off Pine Street through Greene-Hills School.
