Community Comes Together to Build a Playground
The dream of a new neighborhood playground on East 73rd Street began when Burten, Bell, & Carr Development, Inc. took on the Kaboom project, sponsored by Koolaid. News filtered through the neighborhood that they were looking for build captains to lead teams of volunteers in building the playground.
Cedric Allen learned of this opportunity and thought of how many residents had voiced their concern of the safety of the children and the need of wholesome activities for the children in the neighborhood. He volunteered to become a build captain and quickly set about to recruit a team of resident volunteers. The team worked together on Saturday, July 10, 2010, to construct the playground.
