We are concerned about little hands and feet so are postponing.  New date will be announced shortly.

Please join us to celebrate our new playground with a formal ribbon cutting this Friday 11/10/2017 at 10:00 am. Children are encouraged!

This is the culmination of two years of fundraising, planning, and finally building, so we look forward to seeing many friends at this celebration.

Mayor Kathy Sheehan will be there to celebrate with us and help us acknowledge the hard work of the Department of General Services and the Recreation Department.  We’ll also be thanking our major donors: the Lobo Family in memory of Angelo & Victoria Lobo,  Stonehenge Gardens,  Dolores Hamilton, the Bender Family Foundation, and the Wildflower Fund, as well as the many individual donors who purchased commemorative bricks or made donations.   This playground could not have happened without these private donations large and small.

You’ll also have the opportunity to sing along with our neighbor Ruth Pelham to celebrate the spirit of welcome and inclusion that our new playground represents.  Ruth Pelham is a performer, educator, community builder, and the founder of Music Mobile that for forty years has brought love and learning to people of all ages. She is currently working on The Music Mobile Legacy Project to highlight the story of the Music Mobile and the generations of people it has touched.

Please dress warmly and bring spoons or other simple homemade instruments to play along with as part of the “Buckingham Pond Community Band.”
