Playground Build Volunteers

Build Dates: June 23–28

Our playground renovation will be built by volunteers from our community during an exciting, fast-paced build week. Whether you have construction experience or simply want to lend a helping hand, there is a role for you.

This is a true construction site, and safety is our top priority. Please review the information below carefully before volunteering.
