Following community input, two Northside playgrounds have been redesigned. Both Wheeler Heights and Berkeley parks installed new play equipment for ages 5‒12 that includes colorful play structures, swings and benches. Wheeler Heights also relocated the playground from the Mandrake Road end of the park closer to Northview Drive.
