Willmore Park Improvements Township of Little Falls, New Jersey (Passaic County) CLIENT Township of Little Falls 22 Main Street Little Falls, NJ 07424 CONTACT Vincent Quatrone Township Administrator 973-890-4500 CONSTRUCTION COST $1.25 million COMPLETION DATE 2024 DISCIPLINES INCLUDED Construction Management Municipal Site/Civil Survey Electrical Boswell was engaged by the Township of Little Falls to provide site/civil engineering services for their Willmore Park Improvements Project. This project was a much-needed upgrade to the decades-old playground. The existing equipment was deteriorating and in need of frequent repair. The playground surface consisted of mulch that needed to be replaced annually. The ADA portion of the existing playground was rarely used for its intended purpose. Boswell’s upgrades to the playground were significant in scale, safety, aesthetics, and function. The newly installed equipment is modern and robust, and appropriate for use by a wider age range of children. The ADA accessibility is now integrated so that children who need these features are not segregated from those who don’t. The playground’s poured-in-place safety surface creates an attractive, accessible surface that does not require replacement annually and is more durable. This widely-used playground was greeted with great enthusiasm by residents who frequent this park that is used to host concerts, community events, and services that commemorate Memorial Day and the 9/11 anniversary. The playground is typically teeming with families on any day sunny day year-round. Boswell’s planning, design, and the firm’s construction engineering support ensured that the project was completed on time and within budget. The resulting facility exceeded the Township’s expectations in expanding the size and function of the playground. From all perspectives, including functionality and accessibility, this location achieved all of its goals, and will be an important part of the Township for generations.
