When Megan Hoover tells her three children they are going to the park for the day, they ask if they have to go to the park with no toys.

"It's sad," the central Richland resident said.

But Hoover and her neighbors are working to bring toys and playground equipment to their neighborhood park.

The group led by Karina Thorne has spent more than a year trying to bring play equipment to Paul Liddell Park, which now offers only open green space.
