BUILDING A LEGACY FOR ALL CHILDREN

 

Through the financial generosity of the community, the Civic Pride Foundation raised nearly $500,000 for two important community recreation facilities, the All Abilities Playground at Heather Farm Park and the Splash Playground at Larkey Pool.

 

Opening in October 2014, the Heather Farm Playground has become one of the most popular recreation facilities for families with young children. The Civic Pride Foundation raised more than $370,000 for the project, which helped pay for the playground's resilient surface and shade structures. Read more about the playground features.

 

In addition to some 250 individual and group donors, the
key contributors to the project were six local foundations.

• HEDCO Foundation

• William A. Kerr Foundation

• Dean & Margaret Lesher Foundation

• Thomas J. Long Foundation

• Joseph & Vera Long Foundation
