I would like to give a lot of credit to the Peachtree City government workers who are responsible for installing the new playground equipment at the Glenloch Recreation Center. When I first saw the worker removing the old outdated equipment I thought it would be a great waste of money to replace it with new equipment. However after seeing how much the children are enjoying the new greatly improved playground equipment, it is my opinion that taxpayers' money was well spent.

When the old equipment was in place I would notice an occasion use of it by the children, but most of the time it sat unused. The activity has increased greatly with the installation of the new playground equipment, and I believe it is because it is better equipment. Some may say it is only because it is new, but I don't believe so. I think it is because it is better, more up to date equipment.

Another thing I think the city deserves a great deal of credit for at the Glenloch Center is the installation of the white vinyl fence at the soccer fields. The fence is very appealing to the eye and will hold up for many years with little or no maintenance. The vinyl fence is money well spent, and it a great improvement over the wood rail fences that look like they are going to fall down a week after they are installed.

I assume that there are other projects similar to Glenloch taking place in Peachtree City. I hope that citizens in those areas are also thankful for a job well done, and money well spent.
