Workers dismantle playground equipment at Irwin Park on Thursday, Feb. 5, in preparation for the next phase of the park’s $1.2 million rejuvenation project. In addition to replacing the playground equipment, the ball field will be removed and a new game area with a shade structure, a game table and game-disc connect will be added. Plans also call for a rain garden with a pergola, a swing bench and a stationary bench. (Eric Crump/H-F Chronicle)
