Playground Project Dedication
Since the completion of our handicap accessible playground project this past fall, children and their families have been trying out the new equipment as often as the weather has permitted. Now that our cold winter weather is finally coming to an end and the rain and wet ground are (hopefully) subsiding, the project’s official ribbon cutting and grand opening celebration has been scheduled for 2 p.m. on Friday, May 13, 2016.
This brief program will give us an opportunity to thank everyone who donated financially or volunteered for the community build. We will serve refreshments and take some photos and videos of the community enjoying the fruits of their labor!
There are still a handful of playground amenities that will be finalized before the official ribbon cutting. Custom signs commemorating financial donors and explaining playground rules will be installed at the entrance. The paver patio made up of personalized, engraved bricks will be completed, concrete patios for picnic tables are being poured and the grass yard around the playground will be installed.
We are so excited to finally be able to have the official ribbon cutting of the site to thank the individuals and organizations who have worked so hard to make this dream a reality.
We now have a playground where children of all types of abilities can play together; one that addresses the needs of typically developing children as well as children with neurological, intellectual and physical disabilities. We are so thankful to finally have an inclusive playground that accommodates all children and challenges each of them at their own developmental levels.
