Dita, this is great! What a very thoughtful thing you have done thus far and will be so great for the community to receive! You have my support!

Collyk, what an interesting and great post! Never under estimate the power of good doing!

Pam, I read your post thoroughly. I just don't see why you would bring a negative up when it doesn't exist, and rain on the parade of some nice folks who want to give the kids a playground. Kids love stuff like that, plastic or whatever it may be.

I have been meeting with landfill types and foundation types in the city and am passing along concerns that have been raised.

OK End of discussion for me. Enjoy

If you are interested, perhaps I can offer another type of help. I was Superintendent of European Installations for Grounds for Play and The Army Corps of Engineers for 7 years. We installed playgrounds all over Europe, and after that I worked for a number of playground manufacturers designing playgrounds for age appropriate placement and room required for use. I travelled to sites to certify the installation as safe for play by C.P.S.C. Standards and to insurance companies specs. I could be of some assistance in that area if you need.

Now THAT is cool!!

lil'red that sounds great would love to have your help on that - likely see you later at BC's

lil'red you continue to amaze me. Your expertise will be invaluable in helping with a safe and sound installation. Kids have an amazing imagination and will turn that unit into "Pirates of the Caribbean." Wish I was there to help.

UPDATE:

Thanks to everyone that has sent in a donation for the transportation costs, every little bit helps and we are getting there. I got word this morning that we have increased our total by about $300 just from the initial post. Keep those donations coming!

We will have some additional information on the background of this effort and some pictures on the Taco-blog very soon. Thanks again, you guys always step up!
