Thanks!

PARK CLOSED FOR CONSTRUCTION

The Tots Park will be closed from Friday July, 15th to Sunday July,17th while we remove the old play structure and install the new one. Please do not allow your kids into any area of the park during this time for their safety. Thanks! Come try the new equipment starting July 17th!

VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!

This is it folks: the final phase of our project started with this blog back in 2008. It all comes together on JULY 16th when we install our new play structure (see post below) at the park. We need all you handy moms and dads out there to come help. All levels of expertise (or lack of it!) will be put to good use! If you are out of town or otherwise occupied that day and would still like to help make a donation here and put Cold Spring Tots Park as the fund name. Or email totspark@yahoo.com to donate snacks/drinks for the volunteers. Hope to see you on the 16th. Local kids will thank you for years to come!

New Playscape coming soon to the Tots Park!

Goodbye Scary Bridge! Hello new, safe, ADA compliant playscape... Thanks to Garrison resident Rajay Bagaria, a new playscape may soon be installed at the Tots Park. Rajay secured us a significant discount on the new structure. Miracle Recreation custom designed the new playscape to mimic what we currently have while eliminating the safety hazards of the bridge and stairs. The Friends of the Tots Park has almost enough funds to make it happen but we need close to $2000 to reach our goal. Will you help secure the future of the Tots Park?

NEW SAND IN TIME FOR SPRING SPRUCE UP SUNDAY, MAY 1st

We're getting new sand!!! Please bear with us as we change out the sand and warn your kids about a deeper-than-they're-used to sandbox for the next couple of days. Thanks to the Village of Cold Spring, Highway Department and Mayor Seth Gallagher for making this possible!

Part of the cost will be borne by the Friends of the Tots Park, so if you are thrilled to have clean sand for your kids to play in (and eat!) make a donation by clicking on the Community Foundation link to the left of the blog.

A special shout out to Nate Lyons of Harold Lyons and Sons for providing the sand at cost price and giving us free delivery.
