Rehoboth Beach’s proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year does not include the estimated $250,000 needed to replace the town’s oldest playground with a new, ADA-compliant version. The playground, called the Tot Lot, is past its expected life span and has problems with structural rust. The budget must be approved before April 1.
