Cerritos Breaks Ground on Heritage Park Play Island Renovation

Details

Renovations to the Heritage Park Play Island in Cerritos are officially underway, which will provide children with an upgraded play environment this summer.   

The Cerritos City Council joined staff and project partners for a kickoff event on Monday, March 30. The project will renovate a section of the play structures on the island, including playground equipment, surfaces, building elements, roofs, walkways, and waterproofing. It is anticipated to take about four months to complete.

"For nearly 50 years, Heritage Park and the Play Island have served as a destination for children, their families, and friends to connect, have fun, and create lasting memories,” said Mayor Frank Aurelio Yokoyama. “With this project kickoff, we’re honored to share in a key park milestone and the promise of more memories for generations to come.”

The Heritage Park Play Island Renovation project is made possible from $1.2 million in Measure A funding from the Los Angeles County Regional Park and Open Space District. Renovations will be completed by contractor KYA Group.  

The Heritage Park Play Island has served Cerritos since it was first dedicated on March 6, 1977. The Play Island features themed play structures symbolic of American Revolutionary War-era Boston, such as a covered bridge, ship, and village.
