Highland Village asking residents to help design new Kids Kastle

The city of Highland Village wants to include the community in the design and building process of the future new Kids Kastle.

The original playground, located at 2200 Briarhill Blvd. in Unity Park, was built in 1994 and is in need of replacement, according to a city news release.

A design day community kick-off meeting is scheduled for 9-11 a.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7 at Briarhill Middle School, 2100 Briarhill Blvd., during which children and parents can be involved in the new design. Everyone can then come back at 6:30 p.m. for the design reveal, according to the city. Register here.

At the meeting, the consultant will provide information about their company and details of the community build process, including timeline, recruitment of volunteers and the formation of committee coordinators for construction, food and tools.
