Playground Project
Stay up to date on our exciting playground project!
All of our equipment is open and ready to be played on! However, we still have some work to do, so please bare with us while we complete that. We will be working on spreading more mulch (top dress), installing the new border and assembling the shade structure. There may be some equipment that will be blocked off throughout the next few weeks. Thanks for your patience!
Attached below you will find the Playground Volunteer Build Presentation with lots of fun pictures of the building process!
