The playground, which has seen a lot of use, was in desperate need of a total face lift, so the ATPD partnered once again with the Kiwanis Club of Anderson Hills to incorporate $49,000 of renovations. The fundraising was a three year effort to create a unique and innovative play space, accessible to children of varying abilities.
