Edgerton Playground Transformation Taking Shape: New Equipment Delivered, Installation Up Next

Change is happening at Edgerton Elementary and fast. The aging playground, originally built with 2004 Bond funding and matched state dollars, is being completely reimagined to better serve today’s students and generations to come. Thanks to support from the 2024 voter-approved Capital Levy, this full site upgrade is moving from planning to progress. 

In just the past few weeks, construction crews have carefully dismantled and removed nearly all existing play equipment. While that space may look empty now, it's a blank canvas for something better. Recently, brand new Kompan play structures were delivered, bringing vibrant color, safer designs, and inclusive features that will soon define Edgerton’s outdoor play space. 

This is more than just a playground refresh. It’s a full-scale overhaul, designed with the intention of prioritizing accessibility, long-term durability, and student safety. Installation will continue throughout the summer and includes: 

• New large and small play structures built for all age groups and abilities 
• Replacement of outdated wood chip surfacing with ADA, compliant synthetic turf 
• Elimination of raised curbing to improve mobility and access for all users 
• A new 1,200, foot paved walking path to support physical activity for students, staff, and the broader school community 
• Repairs to fencing and improvements to the surrounding grounds 
• Reseeding of worn turf areas and restriping of hard, surface game lines 

This project is a direct response to aging infrastructure and community feedback. Families, staff, and students have asked for safer and more inclusive outdoor options, and we are delivering on those expectations.

The equipment now staged on site represents the vision our district and community share: a modern, equitable space where all students can learn, play, and grow. When complete, Edgerton’s new playground will stand as a model of what’s possible when we invest intentionally in our schools. 

Thank you to the voters who made this possible. Your support of the Capital Levy is directly impacting student well-being, physical health, and equitable access to school facilities. 

We will continue sharing updates throughout the summer as construction milestones are reached.
