The Sprayground - background
It's time to transform the old obsolete wading
pool at Pleasant Hill Park Pool into something that's alive… rejuvenating… surprising … and
totally different every time!
That's the concept behind the Pleasant Hill Community Foundation's
newest community project. There will be something for everyone
here! Interactive, active, and passive play for all age groups
and people with disabilities. There will even be a "No Splash
Zone" for young toddlers and infants.
Your tax deductible
donations are needed now! This family-friendly aquatic facility
will bring people together of all ages and abilities, and will
serve our community as an inspiring focal point!
MATCHING GRANT! Thanks to the generosity of the Dean
& Margaret Lesher Foundation, $20,000 in donations
received after 9/15/2006 was matched dollar for dollar.
You can still BUY a BRICK! Be a part of tomrrow… Today!
