The playground at Largo Central Park shuts down Aug. 11. Workers will build a 91-foot Ninja Course modeled after American Ninja Warrior. Kids of all ages can use it, and wheelchair users will have access too.<\/p>\n

Largo Parks & Rec shared plans that include obstacles, a rock wall, and a warped wall. Pictures show a jungle gym that looks like a real jungle. Rope swings? Check. Slides and teeter-totters? Those too.<\/p>\n

Every child will find something here, no matter their abilities.<\/p>\n

“The improvements will help enhance one of Largo’s most popular family destinations,” the City of Largo Recreation posted on Facebook, according to I Love the Burg.<\/a> “Largo Central Park is enjoyed by more than one million people each year and hosts dozens of major events and celebrations.”<\/p>\n

This 28-acre park brings in over a million people annually. Events happen year-round, and shaded paths crisscross the grounds.<\/p>\n

Construction won’t affect the rest of the park. Crews will fence off just the play area while finishing up this fall.<\/p>\n

Largo Central Park Nature Reserve sits right next door, where more than 130 bird species make their homes alongside foxes, otters, and gators.<\/p>\n

The renderings display sprawling play zones scattered across the refreshed grounds, with separate sections targeting different ages.<\/p>\n

The City of Largo Recreation runs the park but hasn’t set a finish date yet.<\/p>\n

This project represents a big bet on what’s already one of Florida’s busiest parks, drawing families from surrounding areas who come for the activities and facilities.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The playground at Largo Central Park shuts down Aug. 11.
