Meridian Park and Cascade K-8 open new play field

Students from Meridian Park Elementary and Cascade K-8 Community School jointly cut the ribbon on Monday, Sept. 10 opening their new play field.

The field is the fourth at an elementary school to be renovated using bond funds approved by District voters in 2006. Highland Terrace, Lake Forest Park and Syre opened new fields in 2010. Work is currently under way on a renovated field at Briarcrest to open next year.

The new field at Meridian Park and Cascade K-8 is available for community use outside of school hours. It is located just north of the Shorewood High School baseball and softball fields that opened last March. It was designed by D.A. Hogan and Associates and constructed by Terra Dynamics, and features synthetic turf in heavily used areas.
