OUR NEW LOGO

Thanks to Tots Park parent Christine Caballero, the Tots Park has a brand spankin' new logo to go with the new play equipment. Talent runs in the family: come hear Christine's partner, poet Jeffrey McDaniel, at the first Sunset Reading of the summer this Sunday, May 10, 4 pm, at the Chapel of Our Lady. Celebrate Mothers Day with poetry, wine, cheese, and friends.

TOTS PARK COMMUNITY BUILD A GRAND SUCCESS!!!

The showers on Friday had all of us frantically checking weather.com, but the weather Gods smiled on us and we were able to proceed with a fantastic build on Saturday, May 2nd. Several skilled Tots Park parents, other community members as well as many local construction contractors showed up bright and early to help with the build. The icing on the cake was having our new Mayor Seth Gallagher working hands on, alongside Trustee Ralph Falloon and Building Inspector James Hartford. Rica Watkins, who just moved here from Georgia, said," It's wonderful to see a community come together for such a great cause." Despite a generous selection of donated snacks, The Friends of the Tots Park had a hard time getting the work horse volunteers to take a break...they worked through the day and finished up in record time.

Ed Trimble and the highway crew had already turned over the sand in the sand box and refinished the walkway.
Our volunteers assembled the new equipment and mixed and poured in the concrete to install it. Everybody pitched in the aerate the mulch and pull weeds...and voila!!! A brand new face for the much loved gathering spot, just in time for the prime outdoor play season!!! The kids watching over the fence could hardly contain their excitement when they saw a new digger, rock climbing tunnel and seesaw go in. They couldn't wait to try out the new Trike path and playhouse and had animated conversations about their favorite new toys at the park. The Friends of the Tots Park would like to thank our hardworking build volunteers and all the people who cooked/bought food for the volunteers. Thanks also go out to all the donors who helped us raise the $14,000 to purchase the new equipment for the village of Cold Spring.
We are always amazed at the generosity and involvement of our little community and thank each one of our donors, volunteers and well wishers from the bottom of our hearts. It's probably best expressed by the kids: so stop by the park sometime and let the kids' laughter and screams of delight over the new equipment speak for itself. THANK YOU PHILIPSTOWN, FOR MAKING THIS HAPPEN!
