We Need Your Help!

We need your help in finding some materials. Our playground won't be a playground without pea gravel. We are in need of 3097 sq' x 1' deep in order to follow CSA approval. This surfacing is the best to prevent injury of your children if they fall from the equipment while having fun at the park. Anyone who is able to donate some or all of this greatly needed surfacing will be rewarded in more ways than I can tell you.

We also need chain link fencing to help keep your children from running to the busy roads of Victoria St and Shreve St. Our goal was to have the entire park fenced in order to help keep all the children safe and still be able to run where they want. Our park is large and needs 628' of fencing. As a parent I know that I would feel a lot safer about taking my young children to the playground and letting them play where they wanted without having to hover over them. I am sure there are many other parents out there who feel the same way. But this will only be possible if someone is able to provide the fencing for this greatly needed park and keeping children safe in our community will be a reward in itself. If you are able to provide fencing please let us know.
Thanks
