WATKINS GLEN, N.Y. (WENY) -- Crews are moving into the final few weeks of construction for the ADA playground coming to Clute Park in Watkins Glen. Village of Watkins Glen Mayor Laurie DeNardo posted on Facebook on Sunday a picture showing the pirate ship-themed playground equipment has been installed.

The new playground is set to be a space accessible to all, with different equipment for children with disabilities. This includes a swing set that can be used by children in wheelchairs, according to the mayor.

"People are really excited about it. I think they're excited to see movement. I was just down there, and like I said it's, it's really coming along," said Mayor DeNardo. "We expect, you know, full completion my mid, probably third week in April once, you know, we have to reseed and get the surroundings all back together but. Yeah, the community and people that I've talked to they're very excited about it."

Construction for the new playground started in November after the village held a groundbreaking event for the project.

Mayor DeNardo also said this addition to Clute Park is the final project as part of the $10 million Downtown Revitalization Initiative awarded to Watkins Glen in 2017.

The new playground is expected to open in mid-April, but an official opening date has not been released.
