Pittsburg: Volunteers Needed for One-Day Playground Build

by ECT

One-hundred volunteers are needed on Saturday, November 11, 2017 to give area kids the childhood they deserve by building a new playground at City Park in Pittsburg (Railroad Ave @ E 17th Street). The design is based on children’s drawings created at a special design event in September.

The day starts at 8:00 a.m. and concludes at 3:00 p.m. with a ribbon-cutting to celebrate the new playground. Volunteers (adults only) are asked to commit to the whole day.

The playground build is sponsored by Kaiser Permanente and organized by the national nonprofit Kaboom!, the City of Pittsburg, First 5 Contra Costa, and the East County Regional Group, a parent action group First 5 sponsors.

While City Park is home to expansive ball fields and grass, it lacks a modern playground for younger children.

This is the fourth park in East Contra Costa the East County Regional Group has helped renovate. Their successful track record made them an ideal partner for KaBOOM!, a nonprofit that engineers one-day playground build projects around the country.

Call (925) 771-7338 to sign up. Please also share the volunteer recruitment flyer with your networks.

Anyone complaining at a park are too fat or lazy to be resourceful to go somewhere else to play and exercise. It’s a public park, get over it.
