Sarasota News Leader October 11, 2013 Page 72 PAYNE PARK PLAYGROUND AND CAUSEWAY PARK REOPEN The Payne Park playground and the West John Ringling Causeway Park are open to the public again following temporary closures for improvements, the City of Sarasota has announced. "Crews conducted a comprehensive inspection of the playground equipment at Payne Park, a news release says. Some items, including the swings, crawling tunnel and bridge, were still under warranty and were replaced, the release notes. A single shade canopy also was installed over the toddler play area. At West John Ringling Causeway Park, a new sidewalk was installed and the seawall underwent improvements. Both structures had eroded over the years because of high surf, the release adds. The West John Ringling Causeway Park improvements began in August. Photo by Norman Schimmel
