Cottonwood Park KaBOOM!

Play Area Ages 5-12

Play Area Ages 2-5

The City of Anaheim is embarking on its 13th KaBOOM! playground build at Cottonwood Park. KaBOOM! facilitates projects where community partners come together to fund and provide labor and materials to install new playground equipment in parks. The play equipment at Cottonwood is almost 20 years old and in need of replacement. Edward Lifesciences Corporation is the funding partner for this exciting project, and Anaheim Family YMCA is the community partner. We look forward to working together with these groups, and community volunteers, to create an amazing play area in 2021.

Grass Area

This project will create a dog park (with large and small dog zones) at Maxwell Park. The dog park improvements include agility equipment, new landscaping including shade trees, seating, drinking fountains, doggie bag stations, decomposed granite open play area, ADA parking and access, and additional lighting. As part of an effort to ensure the long-term survival of the grass, and other landscaping, staff needs to allow time for the plants to establish and take root before our doggie community can run around and enjoy it. The park is expected to open to the public this Summer 2021.
