There’s a New Playground in the East River Valley

There’s a new playground in the East River Valley!

East River Valley Recreation received almost $35,000 from the federal government to build a new natural outdoor playground that will encourage more kids to get outside to play.

Investments like these also make a community more attractive to those looking for a place to call home.

When I visited the facility recently, the group of volunteers who got this project off the ground left me with a reminder of my time as a local recreation leader a little more than 20 years ago! It’s amazing to see how far it has come and that so many kids are still benefitting from the rec program today.

Congrats to everyone involved who worked so hard to bring this project to your community!
