A new universal-access playground was

unveiled at Ann Arbor’s Gallup Park this
weekend. Named the Rotary Centennial
Playground, the space is open and accessible to
all people, regardless of age or ability.

The project, which has been in the works

since 2013, is a $1.1 million addition to Gallup
Park. The Rotary Club of Ann Arbor donated
$550,000 to make the playground a reality.
Collyer Smith, president of the organization,
told MLive that the playground aims to bring
people together in its accessibility.

“It is for people of all abilities and all ages,”

Collyer said. “It’s not just for kids. It’s not just
for disabled people. It’s not just for disabled
kids. It is for people of all abilities and all ages
to play together.”

Colin Smith, director of the Ann Arbor

Parks and Recreation Services, echoed the
Rotary Club’s sentiments.

“It’s for the child and for the caregiver

too, or the parent, so everyone can be involved
in every aspect of it,” Colin said. “I hope it
continues to be a place where people can come
together and enjoy together and to grow and
play.”

According to ClickOn Detroit, more

than 100 people attended Sunday’s ribbon-
cutting ceremony, where Ann Arbor Mayor
Christopher Taylor gave a statement.

“Ann Arbor is beautiful because of who we

are and what we do,” Taylor told the crowd.

The playground is centered around a fairy

theme, with different play structures to make
players feel as if they’re in woodlands, rivers or
prairies. The structures encourage cooperative
play and are handicap-
accessible.

The city said it was

thrilled with the way the
playground turned out. Ann
Arbor Parks and Recreation
Services tweeted a photo
of the ribbon-cutting
ceremony, writing, “We
could not have asked for a
better outcome from this
collaboration.”

Although this

playground is already a great
success, Hillary Hanzel,
one of the project heads and
landscape architects, told
ClickOn Detroit there won’t

be any others like it in Ann Arbor any time
soon.

“(No other plans) for a playground of this

size, scope and cost — this one is unique!”
Hanzel said. “As we make improvements
to other Ann Arbor Park playgrounds the
principle of universal accessibility is certainly
considered and a goal we strive for.”

and just overall a more pleasant
experience.”

Although the project was

finished this weekend, DDA
project manager Liz Rolla said
there are a few final additions
that still need to happen.
Maintenance will also occur
regularly to keep the area
looking nice.

“We’re still going to come

back sometime this fall and
update the lighting, so put
basically new lamps in the
existing ground holes,” Rolla
said. “And there’s some upkeep
with the landscaping, so every
now and then you’ll see people
watering, weeding, stuff like
that.”

Rolla said there should be no

need to close the roads again
while this upkeep is going on,
though street parking may be
blocked off for short periods of
time.

New high-rise apartments

are also slated to be built in
the South University Avenue

area. The lot at 1107 South
University Ave. will house the
Collegian North building when
completed. Brett Lenart, Ann
Arbor’s
planning
manager,

wrote in an email interview
that proposals for 1209 and
1215 South University Ave. were
submitted last year, but neither
has received approval from the
city yet.

“For 1107 (South) University,

I would anticipate about 2 years
of construction once it starts,”
Lenart wrote. “The others will
depend on the owners time to
submit and revise plans, receive
necessary
approvals,
and

commence construction.”

Lenart is optimistic about

the impact these new buildings
could have on the University
of Michigan community. He
thinks these new buildings
will draw new commerce to the
area.

“I
think
that
adding

student-oriented
residential

is a great opportunity for this
area,
allowing
students
to

live practically on campus,
potentially without need for a
vehicle,” he wrote. “I think it
will be interesting to see how

the retail in the area evolves
with the addition of more
residential units in that area.
Adding units, or “rooftops” in
market analysis speak, typically
increases
the
viability
of

commercial uses.”

According to the building

plan for the Collegian North,
the ground floor of the building
will be dedicated to retail space.

Councilwoman
Julie

Grand, D-Ward 3, has heard
some
concern
from
her

residents about the way the
new
projects
are
changing

the character of the district.
She said her residents are
nevertheless mostly unaffected
by the construction and new
development.

“There are certainly some

residents who don’t like them
from an aesthetic point of view,
but because of how they impact
their daily life because they
are so close to campus, it’s not
much of a concern,” Grand said.
“If there’s any concern, it’s over
the character of the district ...
not over the quality of life.”

Still, the opinions of Grand’s

residents will be something
the city must deal with in

the coming years as more
development occurs.

Students, on the other

hand, are divided as to
whether
they
think
the

changes on South University
Avenue are beneficial. Many
were outraged when they
first heard of plans to build
more high-rise apartments
in the area. Public Policy
senior, CSG Vice President,
Nadine Jawad has spent her
years in student government
advocating
for
affordable

student
housing.
In
an

interview with the Daily
last spring Jawad said it
comes down to an issue of
equity and that she plans to
use her position in student
government to ensure Ann
Arbor
is
accessible
and

affordable for all. Others, like
Junkin, are ambivalent to the
change.

“It doesn’t bother me,”

Junkin said. “I don’t know if
I would notice a difference,
but it would be interesting.
It would be nice, I guess, to
have more places to eat and
stuff.”
