Playground Plans
There has been much discussion about what to do to update our playground. Through PTL fundraisers and other donations, we have raised considerable funds over the years. As good stewards, we need to plan wisely how we envision the playground project to proceed.
What are the immediate needs and/or simplest way to make improvements?
· Wooden swing set needs to be removed!
o What to put in the smaller area on the west side of school. (wooden playground.)
· More swings need to be provided
o Metal? Wooden? Location?
· Different climbing components added
o Geodome
o Various balance components
Some suggestions have also been expressed. This would require more extensive fundraising.
· A concrete slab and basketball hoop
· Terracing the area on the south side of the 5th grade room
· Resurfacing the turf
· An additional larger playground component
What maintenance needs to be addressed?
· Engineered mulch
· Metal top of the retaining wall
· Wooden fence
What do our current funds cover for the items we would like to get?
While I might have a plan for how to move forward, I don’t want to limit this to just my ideas. I welcome the insights and creativity of others and propose that we establish a playground committee and start moving forward. I would welcome input from teachers, parents, as well as a voice from Zion properties.
Please let me know if you have an interest in this. A sign-up sheet available outside the office, as well as an electronic sign up in future Purple Notes.
