Bellevue Council unanimously approved, at its regular meeting on May 5, the purchase of new playground equipment for Bayne Park.

The borough will use a $10,000 grant that it received last year, and contribute $995 of its own money, for the purchase of two swing sets, a carousel and seesaw. The price does not include installation.

Council member Jerry Walter asked why installation was not included. Public works supervisor Tony Barbarino said that the public works department will do the installation.

Council member Steve Mosolansky reported that a slide had to be taken down. Mosolansky said that children were hanging off the slide, falling and getting hurt, and public works disassembled the slide.
