COMMUNITY BUILD: SATURDAY MAY 2nd

TOTS PARK CLOSED FROM APRIL 29th to MAY 5th

We are happy to announce that our new equipment (Phase 1 & 2) will finally be installed on May 2nd. We are so close to making this dream a reality...but we need your help to make it happen!! Due to the construction, the Tots Park will be completely closed from Wednesday, April 29th to Tuesday May 5th. Please respect the fencing and do spread the word. We regret any inconvenience this may cause and hope you will all enjoy the new and improved park from May 6th onwards. Stay tuned to this blog for updates.

On the day of the community build, Saturday May 2nd, we need volunteers who either have some level of construction skills or are 'handy' to assemble and install the equipment (the play equipment company will provide a supervisor and the village highway department will do all the digging and concrete pouring). If you have skills and are available to help for any length of time between 8am and 4pm on Saturday, May 2nd please email totspark@yahoo.com to sign up for the build. Your RSVP is important so we know how many hard-working souls to feed that day! Also, please note that for their safety, no children will be permitted on site during the build.

We are very grateful to Ed Trimble and the highway department for their assistance on this project. The highway crew is also responsible for crafting the beautiful new benches you will see at the park soon. Our deepest thanks to former mayor Anthony Philips for his advance work to make the benches and installation possible and to mayor Seth Gallagher for seeing the project through.

And now over to you, the Friends of The Tots Park. This park was funded and built by parents and other community volunteers, and we hope we can count on you to help us make it even better on May 2nd and beyond!
