Our project date is set for 8/08/09, but we would like to build ASAP. Fundraising goal is min $7500 for the Kool-Aid/KaBOOM Challenge Grant. BUT, the more we raise, the bigger our playground can be!

A "REVERSE RAFFLE/DINNER" was held February 14, 2009 at Parkman Community House. Thanks to Mike & Candi Peters for chairing this event! Through their efforts $3049 was raised. Pictures to be added to the Photo Gallery. We are planning more FUNdraisers. If you have an idea or would like to join us in the adventure of planning and building a playground please contact any of the above mentioned numbers.

"Design Day" was Saturday, January 17. 50 parents & children braved the weather and gathered at the Community House to help design the new playspace. Paper & crayons were available for the children to draw their dream playground. Catalogs and information from the vendors was available to help us choose the best equipment and surface for our needs. We enjoyed hot dogs, Kool-Aid, popcorn & cotton candy and played Twister, hula hoops and ring toss. Check out the photo gallery in the Photos tab!
