CHESTER – Senator James Skoufis (D-Orange County) has announced $205,000 in funding for new playground equipment at Chester Commons Park, replacing equipment that is now more than 25 years old.
“Ensuring our community’s kids have safe and fun places to play outdoors has always been a priority for me,” Skoufis said. “Orange County is the best place to raise a family, and we keep it that way by investing in our local amenities. It’s always a pleasure to work with Supervisor Holdridge and his board, and I was proud to secure this funding. I’m looking forward to seeing this project completed.”
The town aims to have the playground constructed and open by the start of summer 2027. The equipment will be state-of-the-art, ADA-accessible, and designed for children ranging from toddlers to preteens.
“This funding is vital to getting this project off the ground,” said Town of Chester Supervisor Brandon Holdridge. “Along with my board, I made a promise to our residents and children to invest in our parks, and I’m grateful to Sen. Skoufis for helping us fulfill that promise.”
