"We are even installing a yellow track ride that is ADA accessible with a zero-G chair and seatbelt," Boggs said. "Across the walkway there will be parallel bars with a dip station."
The entire playground will encompass nearly an acre of land and use 300-yards of mulch, according to the project lead, Boggs. 
Chris Elder is lead supervisor for the Chickamauga Dam project.
