City seeks volunteers to help with playground project
 
Tukwila Parks and Recreation is the recipient of a KaBOOM! playground grant, funded by Foresters Financial.  A new playground will be installed at Cascade View Community Park on Saturday, July 8.  Cascade View is one of Tukwila's most frequented and played-in parks - children and adults alike gather there to socialize, play games, and enjoy the park's amenities.  Play is central to a child's ability to grow into a productive adult. Let's ensure kids get the balance of play they need to thrive!
 
To make this happen, we are working to secure 160 volunteers to help with the build and installation of the playground.  Are you available on July 8?  Would you like to help make the park a better place for kids to play?  All you need is a go-getter attitude and a smile - no playground building experience is necessary.  We are also seeking volunteers to be team leaders - again, there is no experience necessary except the desire to lead and motivate a team.  In addition to the big build day, there is a site preparation day on Thursday, July 6, when approximately 30-40 volunteers will be needed.  More information:
  • Volunteers should be age 18+ 
  • Volunteers will assemble playground pieces, mix concrete, move mulch, help with food, play games with kids, and much more.
  • Volunteers should wear closed toe shoes and comfortable clothes you don't mind getting dirty; leave valuables at home.
  • Youth activities provided.
  • Gloves, goggles, breakfast and lunch will be provided.
Please join us and show that play matters to you!   Register to volunteer at TukwilaWA.gov/kaboom.
