Temporary Playground Closure

Feather River Recreation & Park District is beginning a playground replacement project at Martin Luther King Jr. Park on Wyandotte Avenue. Beginning September 24, 2026, the playground area will be temporarily closed while crews remove the existing playground equipment and prepare the site for delivery and installation of the new playground. The project is expected to take approximately six weeks to complete.

During construction, all other areas of Martin Luther King Jr. Park will remain open and available for public use.

We appreciate the community’s patience during construction and look forward to welcoming families back to a new and improved playground once the project is complete.

Project updates will be posted as additional information becomes available.

About Martin Luther King Jr. Park

Martin Luther King Jr. Park is a vibrant community park featuring a lighted multipurpose field, basketball courts, playground, covered amphitheater, and picnic area with barbecue grills. The park provides a welcoming space for sports, family gatherings, community events, and celebrations, with select facilities available for reservations.

In Fall 2021, 54 trees were planted throughout the park through funding from a Proposition 68 grant and in partnership with the Oroville Botanic Garden and Education Center (OBGEC). The planting included American Sycamore, Chinese Pistache, and Interior Live Oak trees. Community members, the Southside Community Center, and FRRPD worked together to plant the trees, adding shade and enhancing the park's natural setting.
