Update: April 30, 2026
Installation of new playground equipment has begun, but remember: even when workers aren't present, the playground is still not ready for public use. Please respect the construction fencing around the playground. A grand opening is planned on June 18, 2026.
Check out this video update from Jamie Wolter, the Public Works Director from the Town of Winter Park.
Construction Starts on the New Playground!
Construction on the new playground at Hideaway Park starts in April! The construction fence goes up in early April, followed by concrete foundations and footings. In mid-April, playground equipment will arrive and be installed with a crane, a process that will take around a week.
Once equipment is installed, crews will start work on surfacing, landscaping, and fencing. The project is projected to be complete in June 2026!
Check out the video below to see the concept design!
The concept design was chosen to reflect Winter Park's unique history while also highlighting the beautiful area we live in.
While this is an exciting transformation, we understand it means a temporary disruption. Some areas around the playground will be closed for safety until the project is complete.
