The Lahaina Recreation Center playground has been closed until further notice due to safety concerns over the damaged playground surface, the Maui County Department of Parks and Recreation announced Friday.

The county said there have been multiple attempts to repair the playground surface, but it has been deemed unrepairable because of excessive wear and tear. Swings have been removed and the area is taped off.

The center is a county facility located at 245 Shaw St. in Lahaina.
