The City of South St. Paul is updating the Jefferson Park playground in 2027.
What: The park will see updated play equipment, including climbing structures, slides, swings, accessible play features, shade canopies, and new safety surfacing.
Where: Per the Parks Master Plan, the playground is being relocated to the northwest corner of the park.
When: The current playground is expected to be removed this month and the new playground installed in the spring of 2027.
Cost: The project is expected to cost $351,498. Council approved the purchase in September, with staff ordering the equipment in 2026 to be paid in 2027, which locks in 2026 pricing and avoids anticipated increases.
Why: The playground is over 25 years old and slated to be replaced as part of the city’s scheduled replacement.
