Hello everyone!

My name is Erin Hamilton and I'm part of the KaBOOM! online team. Since Southern Point Central Park is on the leader board right now, I need to find out who would be the main contact for the site and get both their email address and phone number so that one of my colleagues can send along some further logistics information. Would someone be able to get this to us? Any information would be appreciated!

Thank you!

This park is too small for the community. We need new equipment such as baby swings, shade, benches, etc.

My older kids love this park because they can swing next to each other. My little one likes the play set itself. I can't stand to go there anymore because of the upkeep. The last time we went there were more cigarette butts than there was mulch. It is so dirty/muddy. If we can't get new equipment, we should at least make the current stuff usable.

and those prickly weeds right behind the swings.

The playground set doesn't include activities for a range of ages. I have to take my youngest to a different site and my oldest gets bored.

Kids of all ages love to swing. We need a park that has baby swings and regular swings. A tire swing is always fun too.

A baby swing would be great. I've only found one close at a different park.

This park could be really nice, but has very basic play equipment with poor mulch surfacing that washes out every year and hasn't been updated in a long time. New equipment would be great for the community.

Southern Point Playground needs to be fun for all ages. Right now it to big for the little ones under 3 and to small for the older kids over 9.

I'd also like to see something for all ages...even adults :)

I would like to see our current playground updated and expanded to include areas for children under 2 and something for older children as well.

Wish we had the tire/rubber surface as the mulch is dirty and erodes. More swings and other play surfaces would be great.

I would love to see something for all ages, right now it is a little to big for my 2 year old and a little to small for my 9 year old.
