ANNIE WILLIAMS PARK SELECTED FOR “EXTREME MAKEOVER” BY CHARITABLE ORGANIZATION LET THEM BE KIDS

As the rainstorms held off and using the park as the perfect backdrop, the Annie Williams Memorial Park Board this morning announced the next step in the revitalization of one of Bracebridge’s most treasured jewels.

Let Them be Kids (LTBK), a charitable organization that joins with communities across the country creating and improving playground spaces has selected the park as one of its 2011 community projects, committing to match each dollar raised by the community for new playground equipment. Over 65 people gathered this morning to hear the great news.

The LTBK program will also allow for a number of other park upgrades by mobilizing volunteers for a massive one-day work party in September of this year. Ideas currently under consideration include a butterfly garden, shoreline revitalization and tree plantings.

Recognizing that each community has unique needs, the LTBK program for selecting the new equipment will be community driven, allowing citizens and volunteers to vote on what components are most important to them.

Please join our effort today! We need your time, your talents and your treasures! Most of all right now, we need you to spread the word!
