Elephant <br />Park will have a more traditional play structure with a <br />climbing net and swings.The concrete elephant in the <br />park, from which the park received its name, will stay. <br />Demolition and construction started in February and <br />the estimated completion is spring 2020. A Grand <br />Opening announcement will be made as the projects <br />get closer to being finished. <br />Over the next several years, with City Council approval <br />and budget availability, the City plans to continue re- <br />placing play structures around Louisville. Many of the <br />play structures are 20-25 years old, which means the <br />equipment is dated, making it difficult to find <br />replacement parts or to update the playgrounds to <br />meet current ADA standards. <br />For more information on playground replacement <br />projects, contact Allan Gill at AllanG@LouisvilleCO.gov. <br />SUMMER JOB FAIR - MARCH 10 <br />Looking for a summer or seasonal <br />job? <br />JOB <br />FAIR <br />Come to the City of Louisville job fair <br />where you can meet hiring managers, <br />schedule interviews and learn about <br />available jobs. <br />The City is now hiring lifeguards for the Aquatics area <br />and Memory Square pool as well as positions for our <br />Parks, Open Space, Water/Wastewater, Athletic Fields, <br />Golf Maintenance Staff, Golf Course Rangers, Summer <br />Camp Counselors, Tennis Instructors and Swim Instruc- <br />tors. <br />If you're interested in these summer positions, <br />please come to our job fair on Tuesday, March 10 at <br />the Louisville Rec Center from 3 pm to 6 pm <br />or visit LouisvilleCO.gov/Jobs and apply online. <br />Page 8 • Spring 2020 <br />
