Winfield Rec Gets $47K For New Playground Outside Recreation Center

The Winfield Recreation Commission has received two grants, worth $46,746, to install a new playground.

The funds are available through the BCBSKS Pathways Grant in the amount of $25,546 and the other grant was from GameTime-a PlayCore company for $21,200. Installation for this project will begin in November or December.

The playground will be located on the northeast side of the Joe Thornton Recreation Center.

The playground will be ADA accessible and the design focus is for active and inclusive play for children ages 5-12 years.

The Winfield Recreation Commission will host a ribbon cutting ceremony when the playground is completed and ready for the community to enjoy.
