Work is about to begin on the new playground at Willow Avenue School that will be known as “Christian’s Adventure.” The organizing committee is looking for volunteers on three days:

Friday, Aug. 7 is preparation day. Five people are needed at 10 a.m. to help Parkitects stake out the area.

Hole drilling and excavation of footing pits will start at 11 a.m. At 1 p.m. between 10 and 15 volunteers will be needed to help sort parts, drill holes and pour footings

Work will continue until 6 p.m.

Saturday, Aug. 8 is equipment installation day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Between 30 and 35 volunteers are needed, preferably with trades experience, to install the play area, pour concrete, and build a stone base for rubber surfacing.

Saturday, Aug. 15 is finishing touches day from 8 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. A crew of 45 to 50 volunteers are needed to install wood fiber surfacing, paint asphalt area games, and install landscaping along the walkway.

Teenagers can work on the project along side a parent or other responsible adult. Child care will not be provided.
