Good Morning, Everyone!
Thank you all so much for your incredible support — for signing the petition, sharing it, spreading the word, and helping raise awareness about the playground replacement!
I’m thrilled to share that at the recent County Board meeting, the playground replacement was discussed and unanimously approved! 🎉 This wouldn’t have been possible without our community coming together. Timeline is looking to be replaced in January 2026, the park will be closed at least a week at this time to assemble.
A special THANK YOU goes to the five brave parents who spoke up at the meeting, in addition to everyone who supported this petition. You can watch their inspiring comments here: YouTube Video (starting at 2:20:08) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D8twniAF6A8 My speech begins at that timestamp, followed by the other five parents who passionately advocated for our children and our community.
If you see any of them around, please take a moment to thank them for speaking out and for taking time away from their families to help make this happen for all of us.
Thank you for our Parks and Recreations Director, Zach White and the 5 County Board of Commissioners, Brad George, Brad Springer, Brent Springer, Jerry Groves, Jimmy Tate, Ed.D. and Chairman Randy Burton for approving the county funding and design of our new playground!
