Wayland Patch 3/13/12: DPW Director: Only Weeks Remain Until Hannah Willams Reopens. It's been more than nine months since Hannah Williams Playground closed following an assessment that the playscape featured "structural safety hazards" and in anticipation of constructing new equipment in the space. Throughout the winter, residents have watched as the old wooden playscape came down, piles of dirt moved around the park, and new trees and plants were added to the area. And then the new play equipment went up and children got antsy to give the new equipment a try. That opportunity is coming soon. Department of Public Words Director Don Ouellette said that a best case scenario would allow him to reopn the park the weekend of March 24-25, possibly in conjunction with a scheduled open house at the DPW garage on Main Street. More likely, he said, is an opening date of April 7.
