Wolfe Field Athletic Complex Playground

March 18, 2022 – The new playground at the Wolfe Field Athletic Complex along St. Anthony Street in Lewisburg Borough is almost complete.  The playground equipment relocated from Kidsburg in Hufnagle Park has been installed and safety surface has been placed around the new equipment and the existing swing sets.  The Borough’s Public Works Crew will be undertaking final grading around the new playground and will be placing grass seed along the edges of site next week (weather permitting).  Once the new grass grows in well, the Borough will open the playground.  Assuming the weather cooperates this spring, we hope to have the playground open by the end of April.
