A renewed ‘Love Your Playground’ campaign

The beloved Chestnut Hill Jenks Playground is getting a much-needed boost, thanks to a revitalized fundraising effort led by some familiar faces. Original Friends of the Children's Park members Jean Warrington, Lawrence D. McEwen, Joyce Lenhardt, and Jean McCoubrey are spearheading the "Love Your Playground" campaign, aiming to secure the playground's future for generations to come.

This renewed initiative focuses on critical improvements to ensure the playground's sustainability and longevity. Funds raised will go toward essential maintenance, including cleaning and staining the original wooden structures, repairing loose equipment based on a recent conditions assessment, vital landscaping and mulching for safety and improved water runoff, and painting and revitalizing the iconic capitals.

The "Love Your Playground" campaign invites all community members to contribute to this important cause. Every donation, big or small, will directly impact the safety, beauty, and durability of the Chestnut Hill playground. Let's show our playground some love!
