The new playground at Watson is assembled and ready for students to play on when school resumes this week.

The synthetic turf field had to be rolled and stretched into place, much like a carpet.

With the school year getting started, some of the construction projects that the Rockville Centre School District has been working on are coming together.

Though the largest projects — the building additions to the Watson School and South Side High School — are still far from completed, work was finished on Watson’s new playground, which will be open to students when school starts this week.

At the high school, workers are finishing installing the new synthetic turf field and laying down a new track. If all goes according to plan, students should be able to use the new athletic facilities the week of Sept. 22.
