Playground planning session scheduled tonight in Alamosa

ALAMOSA — Boys & Girls Club of San Luis Valley, the City of Alamosa and the Colorado Health Foundation are building a playground.

On Saturday, August 11, volunteers from Boys & Girls Club of San Luis Valley, The City of Alamosa and The Colorado Health Foundation will build a great new place for kids to play in one day. The project is in partnership with KaBOOM!, the national nonprofit dedicated to giving kids the childhood they deserve by bringing play to those who need it most.

There will be a project kick off meeting on Wednesday, June 13, led by the KaBOOM! project manager and will include a portion for both children and adults.

The meeting will be held at 1115 10th Street Alamosa. At 4 p.m. will be the Children’s Design Session. All children present will have the chance to draw their dream playground. The drawings will be used as inspiration for the final playground design.

At 5 p.m. will be the Adults’ Planning Meeting. This will be the first meeting for the planning committee.  Attendees will learn more about working with KaBOOM! and have the opportunity to sign up to be on the planning committee to help plan the playground build day. They will also use the children’s drawings to help pick out playground equipment and colors for the new custom playground.
