New playground for neighborhood kids.
KaBOOM!,a national non-profit organization dedicated to saving play for America's children, has again designated St. Petersburg as a "Playful City USA" for 2010. The city's "Play 'N Close to Home" initiative to have a playground available within a half mile of every child's home features public-private partnerships and is recognized as a role model for other cities and communities. Since 2001, the city has created 33 additional playgrounds. Two more sites are currently being considered. One is in the Bartlett Park neighborhood.
Today council agreed to fund maintenance costs of a proposed new playground. Next steps will be an application process, some fund raising and we hope a December 17th Build Day.
