Medford Klamath Falls, OR, October 12, 2026 — Central Point, OR – Residents of Central Point can anticipate an upgraded recreational experience at Don Jones Park, as its playground facilities are currently undergoing a comprehensive renovation. The project, with a total investment of $1.1 million, is slated for completion by November.
The renovation aims to introduce a host of new features designed to enhance user experience and accessibility. Key additions will include substantial shading structures, intended to provide relief from the sun during warmer months. The park will also feature new obstacle elements and zip lines, offering diverse physical activities for visitors. A significant focus of the upgrade is the inclusion of equipment specifically designed to be inclusive for children with disabilities, ensuring broader access to play.
In addition to the new play structures and shading, the renovation also addresses the park’s surfacing. The existing wood chip material will be replaced with rubber surfacing. This change is often implemented to improve safety and accessibility for playground areas.
The project represents a significant investment in community recreational infrastructure. Further details regarding the specific contractors involved or the phased approach of the construction were not immediately available. However, the expected completion by November indicates a dedicated timeline for bringing the modernized playground to the public.
