Our Progress

Playgrounds by Leathers assisted us with the design process initially that we hope to utilize as we bring this playground to life. Our fundraising will go towards solid surfacing, fencing, playground materials, shade sails, and updates to current parking and restroom facilities. Our project is funded through partial city funding, grants, and generous donations from people like you!

We invite you to follow along with our progress and support our efforts.
