Playground Update June, 2010
We have four new benches that
were made by the woodworking shop class at the Crandon
School. The playground funded the money for the lumber and
the shop class built them.
The Hiles Service Club donated
money to purchase two picnic table kits. Brian Bukovic
donated his time to put them together. They will be a nice
addition to the playground. Blackwell Job Corp. will be
furnishing all labor for building a small pavillion to serve
as an area to get out of the sun. This will also be a nice
picnic area to those who choose to bring a snack along while
playing. Blackwell will also be furnishing the labor to put
in concrete stairs. The Town of Hiles has helped with the
cost of these items. We only need to furnish materials and
the rest is donated time by Blackwell Job Corp. Blackwell
Job Corp. students will be given an opportunity to practice
their carpenter skills under the lead instructor Eric
Martinson. The stair will serve as a safe entrance to the
playground and the pavillion will serve as a picnic area and
a place to get out of the hot sun's rays. Blackwell is
hoping to have this project completed by the middle of the
summer.
The playground committee has
been busy raising funds to purchase playground equipment.
This is what we have purchased so far. We are going to be
replacing the big slide with a smaller enclosed spiral
slide. The slide will have a couple of attractions that will
be off to the side of it. They include tic-tac-toe and
a standing merry-go-round. We have also purchased a
multicolored steel airplane see-saw. This will accommodate
up to 7 children with a weight capacity of 600 pounds. This
should be a busy summer just trying to get all the above up
and going.
If you have any
questions, suggestions, or would like to donate please feel
free to contact Amy Houle-Bukovic at 715-649-3136.
