"The bright primary colors of the expansion equipment tend to clash with the tan and green colors of the older equipment, installed in 1997 after much neighborhood discussion. Many park patrons asked if the bright colors could somehow be made more muted. A playground focus group was formed to explore solutions, but it met only once without reaching any consensus about how to proceed. Several people from that collapsed focus group then joined the Conservancy's Playground Committee and continued to explore modification options to satisfy the largest constituency of park patrons." ~ Lafayette Park Web Site
