New Milford closed the Carlson’s Grove playground on Wheaton Road July 29 for two weeks to install new equipment funded by a $65,320 donation from O&G Industries. The playscape will include swings, climbers, a slide, and features designed for children with special needs. Mayor Pete Bass said the update will make the playground safer and more accessible. Once completed, New Milford plans to update its remaining playgrounds, starting with John Pettibone Community Center next year.
