Project Product We intend to revamp and redevelop a former playground for the Conrad Fischer Elementary School and local community. The necessary steps to do this will include at least a minimum of 50 volunteers in order to complete the new playground within a week’s period, working Monday through Monday. We will use new items and recyclable material, while still following school, city, and playground guidelines.
The project itself will create a playground on the school grounds of Conrad Fischer Elementary School, but will serve as the neighborhood playground with a neighborhood entrance. We will be using new equipment, recyclable equipment, and mainly plastic equipment. We will use Cedar wood chips for older children’s playground and rubber matting for the younger children’s playground. We will use a local community gardener to plant new flowers and plants. We will use volunteers to place the equipment. A contractor however, will be hired to repave an old basketball court. At the end of the project the playground should be able to serve in a safe manner the lower and upper elementary classes of Conrad Fischer, as well as the local neighborhood children and parents. The playground will also be able to serve all levels of care with children. ADA guidelines will be met to give a safe and happy place for all children to play.
