Some updates on stories from Bogota Blog NJ. The flooring under the swings in Olsen Park will be reopened soon. The flooring directly under the swing had been worn away from typical wear & tear from use. With the flooring having been opened , the padding underneath was brought to the surface and cover the playground. While the debris may not be harmful in itself, it was still a dangerous condition. From the holes open under the swing causing a tripping hazard, loose debris leaving the playground unsafe for use. Including the rundown appearance it gave the park, undoing all the hard work Volunteers from Bogota Beautiful did in clean Olsen Park in April.
While attending an event in Olsen Park Councilman Rob Robbins was alerted to the situation. Councilman Robbins then called Borough Administrator Joseph Scarpa within minutes to describe the damage. Mr. Scarpa then contacted the installer and the holes have been repaired and the playground clean so it could be used safely. As of Saturday 12-Sept. the swings were still closed for use pending final inspections.
