There's a new pirate ship playground at Canalfront Park in Lewes
The old playground structures, built in 2009, have been replaced by new Kompan equipment, including a pirate ship, a carousel, a "Little Hen's House," mini picnic tables and mini hammocks. There's also new rubber flooring.
The project cost around $400,000, partially paid for through grants from the state.
"This state-of-the-art facility features a variety of interactive play structures, including slides, climbing walls, and in keeping with the maritime setting, a ship," Lewes Assistant City Manager Janet Reeves said. "We've also ensured that the playground is accessible for children with different abilities, providing inclusive play opportunities for everyone."
The playground is located next to the Lewes Little Fields and the Lightship Overfalls. In addition to the playground, Canalfront Park features docks on the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, open grassy space and restrooms.

'Hilarious' video shows toddler, black lab left perplexed after ball vanishes during fetch
A toddler and pup were left bewildered while playing a game of fetch when the ball they were playing with disappeared into thin air. Bennett, 1, and Wren, a 2-year-old Black lab were playing in Yorkshire in Northern England when the ball they were playing with ended in the hood of Bennett's jacket as he was throwing it. Video footage shows the two looking around in complete confusion when the ball vanishes just as Bennett attempts to throw it for the waiting dog. While Wren can be seen hopping around looking for the ball, Bennett stands in shock trying to figure out what happened. That is until someone retrieves the ball from the hood and throws it, delighting the two. Watch: Toddler and dog perplexed after ball they were playing with vanishes 'Cute and hilarious' "Bennett only just started walking and (this) was his first time on foot for a dog walk," the toddler's mother Georgina Rawlinson told USA TODAY over email. Rawlinson said her son is "normally amazing at throwing the ball," an activity they do daily, but this time "the ball was wet from the grass so slipped out his hand into his hood." "Both boys were so confused. Looking to find the ball all over," Rawlinson said, adding she found it to be "cute and hilarious." Rawlinson shared Bennett and Wren, who has been with them since he was a puppy "are two peas in a pod." "Every morning, they are so excited to see each other," Rawlinson said. "It's (the) cutest."
