This visually stunning and creative playground covers approximately one acre and was designed by Leathers and Associates from Ithaca, NY. Community volunteers partnered with the City to build it over a period of six months. $350,000 local money was raised by volunteers for the project. Upon completion, the appraised value was over $600,000. The Operation Playground Grand Opening coincided with the Youth Sports Complex Grand Opening on October 23, 1999.
This is the most amazing play structure that I have ever seen.
