Fences are gone. The Park is officially open for climbing, zip lining, spinning, swinging. Come check it out!
We’ve done it! The ribbon cutting ceremony for the Esplanade Playspace was held Friday, October 28th. We had a great crowd even it was quite cold. As expected, the kids LOVE the park. Jean delivered a great speech, “the playspace project could teach the kids some valuable lessons about not giving up, working together, and appreciating a community that loves you.”
Thanks Jean, Tani and everyone who worked so hard in making this happen!
