Coming Soon…Taylor Park Playground on Duluth’s Town Green
At Taylor Park in Duluth. L to R: Council member Marsha Anderson Bomar, Mayor Nancy Harris, Matt Reeves, Luke Livingston, Paula Bender, Ricky Busbee, Council member Jim Dugan, Billy Jones, and Council member Doug Mundrick.
Taylor Park on the Town Green will soon reflect the sounds of Duluth’s History as the City broke ground on a new playground project. The ½ acre park located on Main Street in front of City Hall will be the home of a train theme playground which will include a miniature train depot, train set with steam engine, passenger car, tanker car and caboose. The improvements will also include a train junction with slides, climbing, and crawling equipment. The $261,500 contract was awarded to Ed Castro Landscaping from Roswell. Construction is expected to be completed in August of 2009. Taylor Park was first opened in 1996 after it was donated to the City by the Kelley Family.

Yes, yes and yes. The park is located adjacent to Duluth City Hall on Main Street, Taylor Park reminds visitors of the city’s railroad history and allows children to climb and play with the playground equipment with a train theme.
