Adaptive playground

An adaptive children's playground on downtown Riverhead's Peconic River waterfront can now be built as designed, after a state grant of nearly $2.4 million completed its funding, town officials said.

Consultants hired this spring to design the town square, riverfront park and streetscape improvements — the centerpiece of Riverhead Town’s massive downtown revitalization effort — presented plans and drawings at a public information meeting at Riverhead Town Hall Wednesday night.
