February brings the Super Bowl, Valentine's Day, and President's Day. It also offers the occasional taste of springtime weather. We have several programs that begin this month and we have plenty of fun activities for the whole family to enjoy. Check them out below!
Also this month the process of replacing the Hollow Park Playground begins!! We will be dismantling the old one in February, weather permitting, preparing the ground in March with the hope of installing the new playground in April for a Grand Opening in May! We are excited to be able to donate the old playground to "Kids Around The World" who re
assembles
them in areas affected by war, poverty, disease or natural disasters. If you have any time on Saturday February 24th to volunteer to help dismantle the playground, please give us a call or email us at [email protected]!
Once the playground is removed in February, weather permitting, we will prepare the area for the new playground in March, and the installation of the new playground is due to take place in April with a Grand Opening in May. Watch out for updates, the new playground is on its way!
As weather can be unpredictable, please check our
website
