Kids and parents upset after playground torn down by HOA
PHOENIX, AZ (KTVK/KPHO) Some kids and parents in a north Phoenix neighborhood say they are heartbroken after a playground was torn down this week. It was located at a park near Tatum Boulevard and Union Hills Drive for more than a decade. Neighbors say they are frustrated because the HOA didn’t run the decision by them.
“We didn’t have an opportunity to voice our opinion. When you move into an HOA community, that is what you are expecting, community,” said Dave Pries.
Pries, who has lived in the neighborhood for 14 years, said the HOA board held a meeting last month, but it was closed to the public. According to a letter from the management company Snow Management Services, the playground was torn down because it was a safety hazard. The letter said it was 14.5 years old and only had a 15-year life expectancy. It added that replacements and repairs would cost up to $20,000.
