Congrats to Killam and their ACE team for their successful playground build!! Over 200 volunteers as well as many kids of all ages worked together on the makeover of the park.
The park came alive during the build with excitement of the kids, conversations, music and noises from bobcats and trucks. Some youth worked on planting a truck load of trees while other groups worked on the landscaping, building picnic tables, constructing the roof of the amphitheatre, horse shoe pits and new walking paths. The volunteers provided food and refreshments throughout the day. The community enjoyed the fellowship, food and lovely day.
Unfortunately for the ACE team, the bike and skate park supplies didn’t arrive due to some trucking issues – so the bike and skate park was completed on Sunday and the dedication happened then. There were several people taking pictures as well as the community paper. There is more to do to complete the park but a great start has been made to date. The group still has another fundraiser dance at the end of October so the short term project is on going.
The ACE team plans to build on the success of the park build and move on to focus on updating their MSP with more community engagement. The hope is that this planning will begin this fall. Great work Killam!!
