Playground Grand Opening Tomorrow

Built by volunteers -- rebuilt by volunteers.

The St. Andrews Community Playground will be holding its Grand Opening tomorrow and families, friends, and children of all ages and abilities are invited.

Restoration Fundraising Chair Isabelle Micheud tells Tide News the Shriners will be putting on a parade and a BBQ to celebrate. She says the parade will begin at the W.C. O'neill Arena at 10:30, go down Harriet Street, Water Street, Up Frederick Street and end at the playground, where there will be a BBQ, a clown, a Mega Bloks play area, and lots of playtime.

Micheud says it was a major rebuild, and the playground is now much safer and is accessible for children of all abilities -- including wheelchairs and strollers.
