On Saturday 26 Sep 2009 we have planned a community install of the additional playground equipment that has been purchased for the Lions Playground by the Magrath Lions Club. It basically involves digging a few holes, putting the new items in place, and filling the holes back up with cement. We have two metal shaded picnic tables and three additional stand alone play items to install; a 4 child spring bouncer, a dolphin spring bounce and a crazy cup.
We have contracted to have the excavation done and holes dug on Friday evening, the 25th. If you have a shovel, rake and/or wheelbarrow we could use help that night moving topsoil around the park, installing the plastic timbers, and setting up for the cement.
On Saturday morning we hope to cement the equipment in and load the pea gravel in place. Because this playground is geared to your younger children in town, these new play items should be very popular. Questions? Want to help? Contact your favorite member of the Lions Club or come see Lion Roger Davies at the Magrath Pharmacy.
Yep, from this angle it doesn’t look like much .. but it took over 50 man hours to install the new equipment (and tables – coming soon) that cost $10,000 to purchase. Thanks Magrath Lions!
p.s. The Magrath 6th Ward YM plan to help finish the shade table assembly this Wed. Thanks to you also!
