The community playground has long been a point of gathering for the neighborhood, but time had taken a toll on it. There was a need for significant improvements - not just on the playground but on its surroundings as well. Streets, sidewalks, and facilities all needed attention too. These improvements became necessary not only for safety purposes but also for the pride of the residents and the neighborhood. So we took action.
The new Blythe Oldfield playground was the result of a collaborative effort between multiple stakeholders. City Fields brought together representatives from the community, city leadership, local businesses, and local non-profits to build Cleveland's newest and best playground and park. With over $500,000 invested in the central part of the neighborhood, it has become a symbol of the future for the community.
