Go Eileen! I know you guys need a new playground and so here I am, as a fan, making a comment, to keep this going!!!!!

Thank you for supporting us. We are most excited about the upcoming remake of our bike path. The paved road will be a great accessible space for all our children with varying abilities. We will be getting out all of our riding vehicles soon including our adapted trikes so that all the children can enjoy and participate.

Playground Planning Meeting – We have much to plan as we come closer to installing equipment, paving a new bike path, and planning a ribbon cutting.

Hello fans of Project Swing into Action, and congratulations! Your community is a part of the top 50 playspaces in the running for an Imagination Playground in a Box! To move on to the next step, the site owner/operator will need to fill out the application that was sent by September 2. We left a message with Eileen Coyne with this information. If they did not receive the message or are not the main contact for this space, please talk to our Grants Manager, Peyton Hutchins, at phutchins@kaboom.org or call her at 202-464-6415. We look forward to receiving your application by September 2 and having you move on to the judging phase!

We are pleased to be in the running and feel that we have a strong case for being chosen as one of the top ten. We have garnered community support for our project. It is essential that children with special needs have an inclusive, accessible, and creative play space to advance all of their skills of which they are so deserving. '

I will call the contact as I did not receive the information and I do not have much time to complete. I am not sure how I was notified. Thank you for posting it on our site.

It was a great day at the school for the meetup event. We're looking forward to coming back tomorrow for Project: Hoop meetup! Thanks so much for hosting these playdates. They are a great way for inclusion during the break between summer school and the beginning of the new school year!

Volunteers are vital to the success of renovating our community playground. The teenagers from The Arc of Montgomery County Junior Volunteer Program can serve as role models to other youth in the area. They not only had a great clean-up day project but also worked and encouraged our children with special needs to be more active participants in play and movement.

That's so great to hear!! Volunteers are invaluable and I have so much respect for them. I think they learn a lot from our kids, too! It's a win-win situation.
