The City of Middleton is moving forward with full playground replacements at Hawkridge Park and Stonefield Park as part of the 2026 Playground Replacement Program—and we want your input.

Both parks will receive new, age-appropriate play equipment, updated surfacing, and improved site amenities. 

Community feedback is an important part of this process, and residents are invited to review and rank six playground concept options.

Each concept features a different layout and mix of play elements. Your rankings will help City staff and the Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Commission understand which designs the community prefers as the project moves toward final selection.

How the survey works:

• Review all six playground concepts, shown as paired A + B views.

• Rank each option from 1 (most preferred) to 6 (least preferred).

• Each ranking number may only be used once.

The Parks, Recreation, & Forestry Commission will review survey results and make a final selection at its February 16, 2026, meeting. Playground replacements are scheduled for completion before the end of summer 2026.

Please take a few minutes to review the concepts and share your preferences.
