Community of Bayville, NJ

PG9On Saturday June 20th, we built a new playground at Butler Beach in Bayville, NJ to replace one at the same site decimated in 2012 by Super storm Sandy. We worked with our partner Kompan, a provider of state-of-the-art playground equipment, to design and install this playground. It includes three swings, a pirate ship themed central unit with climbing equipment and slides, a super nova and spinner bowl.

IMG_3429On October 25th, 2014, more than 300 volunteers from Alexandra’s Playground and the community of Paterson, NJ came out to roll up their sleeves and build a new playground for school #27 in Paterson, NJ. We had a beautiful day for building benches, assembling playground equipment, mixing concrete and raking mulch. It was hard work and a lot of fun!

This playground is the first for this school since being built in the 1950s. The playground will be open to the surrounding community after school hours and on weekends.

Thank you to KaBOOM! for all the coordination. And a huge thank you to Liam, Audrey, Griffin and Isla Patterson, the New Jersey Community Development Corporation and all of our amazing donors for helping to make this playground come to life!

The development of this impressive park was  led by the Trust for Public Land. Jesse Allen Park is Newark’s second-largest city-owned park and serves more than 18,000 people living within a half-mile radius. It  is adjacent to Louise A.

It was a great day of team work, sharing with friends and family and forging of new friendships.
