Over thirty years ago our town came together to build our beloved Wooden Park on Main Street.  It served as a place of fun, laughter, and excitement for two generations.

It Takes a Village

In keeping with tradition, we opted for a community build.  This meant parents, children, family members, and residents worked in partnership with the contractors, Play by Design, to erect our new park.

We relied solely upon donations and fundraising from the Winters community. Everything from construction materials, food and beverages for the workers, and miscellaneous supplies were sourced through donations. Volunteers provided the primary labor during the actual in October of 2017.

We raised over $500,000 over the course of 1 year to bring our vision of a revitalized park to life!  There is no more important point than this; the new park was built and funded solely by the Winters community.

If you are building a playground in your community, feel free to reach out to Project Playground Chairs: Emarie VanGalio & Moyra Barsotti. They are happy to share stories & their experience.  If you want to join the Project Playground Committee, please email us at projectplaygroundwinters@gmail.com
