Molly: Every time we used to drive by when there wasn’t the playground and there was just the old stuff that was falling apart there was not kids playing on it. And the parents didn’t really want their kids playing here because it was unsafe.

Molly voiceover: So, now when you drive by there’s always a bunch of kids playing on it and the community is so happy. And it brought our community together a lot too. We had everybody volunteering and even now there’s a whole bunch of people that come by just to keep maintenance on it because we’re all so proud of it.
