Our Playground at Stadium Place
Overview
This community built playground was rebuilt by hundreds of community volunteers in May 2009 after being destroyed by an arsonist. It retains the fanciful elements that made the old playground so enjoyable plus some new features that add to the security and durability of the site. The playground was built on land donated by the city to the YMCA with the agreement that it would remain open to the public.

This enormous playground burned down on 9/10/08. It was built in April 2005 and will be re-built in May 2009. A community-based organization raised thousands of dollars and organized literally thousands of volunteers to build the playground over a nine day period. An amazing number of groups participated in the design, organization, childcare, construction, food, etc. for the project. The communities around Memorial Stadium felt very strongly that some of the space should remain open to the public. The playground was built on land donated by the city to the YMCA with the agreement that it would remain open to the public. It's down now, but will rise again.
- Winifred De PalmaI like it because they were considerate to make it for children to play on. Every Saturday my brothers and sisters go it and there is enough room to run around.
