Glen Ellyn's newly renovated playground is the first of its kind in Illinois -- it's made from recycled ocean waste, including fishing nets.
The district follows a replacement plan for each of its playgrounds, aiming to revamp the spaces every 10 or 15 years. Sunset Park's playground was last renovated in 1993. Troia said the space is a central community playground given its proximity to Sunset Pool and the village's downtown area. Kompan, which was founded in Denmark and has since expanded worldwide, including to a headquarters in Austin, Texas, launched its GreenLine products in 2021 and expanded the series to full playgrounds last year.
Sperling added that the environmentally friendly aspect of the playgrounds is also of interest to the kids who play on them.
