This may be your chance to fit into the puzzle, whether it be volunteering to help at any of these events or just showing up, every little thing helps. We still need many more volunteers to get everything done for the big day everyone can do something from planting a garden, to assembling the equipement, to making a link chain for the opening ceremonies with the kids. There are also many things you can do before then. Just make sure to sign-up on your right (this is a must) and drop us a line if you like at bellisland.playground@gmail.com

Our New Playground!

Hey Everyone! This is the first rendition of our new playground! Some minor tweaks will be made in the coming weeks but this is it! We can't wait to see it for real and see the children having fun. There is a swing set but it is just not in the picture so no one panic. Don't forget we still need many more volunteers and you can help us out by clicking the button on your right.
