Playing

2007.10.23

You can discover more about a person in an hour of play than in a year of conversation. ~ Plato

Three years ago, the women of my town put their collective shoulder to the wheel and raised the money (in only 6 months!) and corralled volunteers to build this playground. The "build" - start to finish - took one week.

The playground is much larger than this photo would seem to indicate - it has swings, slides, monkey bars, a toddler area.... Local school children contributed to the design; it's meant to resemble an old west town.

DancingDolphin Nice! When my kids were small we raised money and called it: "Pennies for a Playground" :-)
