Wellington to Reveal Playground Design at Celebration Day Event
In just a matter of days, Wellington residents will get a first look at the plans for a revamped playground designed by local children. Join us from 10:00 am to 12:00 pm on Saturday, January 21st, 2012 for a Celebration Day event at Tiger Shark Cove Park as designers unveil the sketch and residents sign up to volunteer to rebuild the playground. This community rebuild project will take place from Wednesday, March 21st through Sunday, March 25th, 2012.
Students from Wellington’s elementary schools met with a designer from Leathers & Associates in December and January to brainstorm ideas for the playground. Volunteers built the original Tiger Shark Cove Park playground 12 years ago. Similarly, in January 2010, more than 200 volunteers pitched in to build the popular Scott’s Place barrier-free playground on Forest Hill Boulevard adjacent to City Hall.
Tiger Shark Cove Park is located at 13800 Greenbriar Boulevard. For more information about the community build project or to sign up to volunteer, contact Kim Henghold, Volunteer Coordinator, at (561) 791-4137 or via email at khenghold@wellingtonfl.gov.
