The city of Kent is looking for children and adults to help design a new playground and other projects at Turnkey Park.
Those interested in helping with the design can attend a meeting from 4-5 p.m. Friday, March 22 for children and from 5-8 p.m. for adults at the East Hill Elementary School cafeteria, 9825 S. 240th St.
Children can put crayons to paper and show us all what a great place to play means to them, said Victoria Andrews, city parks special programs manager.
Disney, the city of Kent, the Kent Parks Foundation and KaBOOM! will coordinate the project. KaBOOM! is a national nonprofit that helps communities build new playgrounds. The agency helped build a new playground in 2011 at Tudor Square Park in Kent.
Crews will build the playground on June 7. Turnkey Park is at 23312 100th Ave. S.E.
To sign up for design day, contact Andrews at 253-856-5113 or email vandrews@kentwa.gov.
