Four local park fundraising campaigns have met their $50,000 goal to receive a $50,000 state match, and one more remains.
Dublin has raised $50,190 to improve Wilson Park. The goal was reached days before its May 25 deadline. Funds will provide new Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant ground surface for the current playground equipment purchased in 2010.
New ADA-compliant equipment will be added as additional funding becomes available. For more information, call 765-478-4878.
Milton raised $50,705 before its May 18 deadline. Goals are to resurface its basketball court and add shelters, picnic tables, benches, playground equipment and landscaping. For more information, call 765-478-3818.
Cambridge City has raised $35,850 so far. Its deadline is 10 p.m. June 23. Committee members aim to make the Creitz Park inclusive to all kids and families.
Components are to include a covered two-story structure with multiple slides, climbers and other interactive pieces, lookout tower, crunch station, accessible swing sets, large and colorful xylophone, conga drums, sit/stand spinner, two spring riders, benches and an engineered wood fiber surface.
