New equipment at elementary playground

Minnesota-Wisconsin Playground of Golden Valley is installing new playground equipment on both the north and south sides of Luverne Elementary School. Students will have new basketball hoops (with help from the Luverne Basketball Association). A new cement pad was poured for the basketball area, removing the former play area from school’s parking lot. New equipment also includes various climbing areas and places of interest, such as a sign language board, showing the alphabet using hand gestures. The same company will also install several pieces of playground equipment at the city pocket park behind the Luverne Post Office and another system near the beach shelter house at The Lake.
