Mission...Playpark in SoWal!!

[Camp Creek Kid]

I haven't made it to either meeting yet, but I can't wait to meet you all. I have a 2yr. old and a 6 mos. old as well as 3 in school.

My sister-in-law was active in the development of a really cool playground on Signal Mtn., TN called the Pumpkin Patch. They had the children come up with the ideas and then worked with a playground designer to design it. The community members then built the structure over several weekends with a lot of donated materials, etc.

Have you guys already discusses this method? I believe this is what was done for the playground at Baytowne.

WOW! You are busy

We have discussed many ways to go, but I think we really need to know where the county stands on this and what plans they may have before we can get to that point. I do think it would be grayt if it could be something that brings the community together. There are so many of us that LIVE here, but we are all so spread out.

We made the paper!!

Grayt article in the "Daily News" today about our efforts. It also says the they (THANKS Cindy Meadows!!!:clap_1: )will be installing some temporary play equipment within the next 30 days:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: As I understand it, there is a plan in place with funds designated to a building and developing a recreational facility, it's just a matter of land. They are trying to buy more land by Helen McCall, but that is not a done deal. Otherwise, we need a St. Joe or someone else to donate some land...

That's great news! We have a meeting set up with Cindy Meadows on the 21st. That's the earliest she had available. If everyone could post what they would like to see in the park/playground, I will compile the list to give to Cindy.

Is there a meeting tonight?????

I'm pretty sure we decided that it was more prudent to just meet with Cindy Meadows first and then decide from there what to do based on how this type of thing works it's way up, according to her.

You gulls are da bomb. Is there any sort of gathering/meeting plan coming up?

Or maybe there is a family friendly something going on this weekend that we can bring kids, yak about the playground, and have a glass of wine---

if it is warm, maybe a beach afternoon at Grayton?

I have a family bible study to go to tonight. I can't make the meeting at the Parks & Rec. I don't think it would hurt if someone wants to go and be an observer and see what they are planning. It might give us a little more info before we meet with Cindy. What do you think?
I also like Jdarg's idea about a Grayton outing!
