Our City has been working to develop a unique and inclusive playground at Town Common, “Greenville’s Central Park.” Unlike any such facility before it, this accessible playground will be a small park in itself, thanks to a wonderful $750,000 grant from Trillium Health Resources, and additional support from GUC, the City of Greenville and others. The existing project budget will result in a distinctive and high quality facility. Nonetheless, we are hopeful that our residents and businesses will join in to provide additional community funds to support the inclusion of more canopy trees and interactive and sensory landscaping elements ($7,500), and a system of interlocking wooden blocks and planks for the nature play area ($7,500), thereby making the playground even more attractive, dynamic, popular, and impactful. The first $5,000 raised will support higher quality landscaping. The next $7,500 will enable acquisition of an outdoor play blocks kit (see photo below). The final $2,500 will provide additional landscaping elements. Whether it’s a contribution of five dollars or five hundred, it will make a difference for Greenville’s youngsters and their families, both now and for decades to come. Donations may be made directly through the Fund Your Park web portal at http://www.fundyourpark.org/campaign/detail/4739 using a credit card, or by check by contacting Christopher Horrigan, Campaign Coordinator. Please call us with any questions you may have, and thank you for your 100% tax deductible donation. The Fund Your Park campaign runs through September 23rd. Sincerely, Christopher Horrigan Greenville Recreation and Parks Department
