Clive police and Urbandale firefighters were dispatched around 1:51 a.m. to Stonegate Park, 15280 Boston Parkway, and found one of the playground’s largest structures engulfed in flames, according to a news release. The structure — the playground’s main feature that included slides and climbers — was severely damaged and could cost approximately $100,000 to replace.
