Freedom Trail Playground

Completed and reopened Freedom Trail Playground (2100 S. Holly Avenue) with ADA-accessible play equipment, a splash pad, and picnic areas — immediately after becoming Mayor. The $1,682,221 project was completed July 19, 2024 by Rudy Construction of OKC and ACS Playgrounds. The contract was partially funded by a $400,000 Land & Water Conservation Fund grant. Prior leadership had allowed the project to drag on for 2+ years with approximately $500,000 in cost overruns from the original estimates. Mayor Pillmore refused to accept substandard work from the contractor, held the line on quality, and got the project across the finish line. Ribbon cutting: August 20, 2024.

What it means: $1,682,221 ADA playground at 2100 S. Holly — completed after 2+ years of delays and $500K overrun under prior leadership
