Wisconsin Kiwanis Club Wins $25,000 from Landscape Structures, Kiwanis

Kids of all abilities will come together for play with safe and inclusive playground

The playground in the center of Barron, Wis., will soon welcome kids and adults of all ages and abilities thanks to the work of the Kiwanis Club of Barron and the kids who will use it.

The Barron club was one of 36 Kiwanis clubs that entered the contest for $25,000 in playground equipment to be furnished by Landscape Structures. A panel of judges agreed the plan to update Anderson Park was the best entry in the sixth annual contest cosponsored by Landscape Structures and Kiwanis. The entry noted the inclusive playground would be a gathering space for children of all abilities in the community and its central location was a natural gathering place. It also garnered the most votes—3,148—in public voting for the contest.
