The existing playground theme- ‘Kidstowne’ - emerged from local school kids ideas for a playground – castle, rocket, treehouse, train depot, etc.

KidsTowne was built in 1999 through a community-led effort and holds a special place in people's hearts. The original memorabilia, including the handprint tiles, brick pavers, and painted picket fence are fragile and aging with time. Which of these elements are meaningful to you, and what ideas would you have for the Town to protect and preserve?
