Carson Cityâs 18 playgrounds bring joy and relaxation for an average of about 3,000 citizens per location. But theyâre also a potential liability to the city if anyone gets hurt using any one of them.
The Parks and Recreation Commission is deciding how best to properly maintain each location and whether to reduce the total number in its park system, according to a discussion at its April 6 meeting.
Playgrounds typically last about 20 years, and the cityâs existing sets already are approaching this age, according to staff reports. As of 2019, there were 54,773 residents in Carson City â about 3,043 per playground. Douglas County currently has about 8,166 residents per playground. Reducing five playgrounds to 13 in Carson City would double Douglas Countyâs facilities per capita.
