The neighborhood parks in Midland with non-compliant playground equipment have been identified and the city will seek public input on recommendations to fix the problems.
Karen Murphy, director of public services, said 16 parks have non-compliant equipment based on the national guidelines and 16 have compliant equipment but need additional fall protection zones.
The compliance issues vary from old slides that don't meet ladder and platform requirements to possible lead paint and damaged supports.
A public hearing is planned for the commission's next meeting to gather input from residents on the recommendations. The meeting will take place at 7 p.m. May 1 at Midland City Hall, 333 W. Ellsworth St. (There is no April meeting because of spring break at Midland Public Schools).
