When city councilor, Gary Vis, learned of the alarming number of insurance claims due to children being hurt on antiquated playground equipment, he envisaged a new attraction that would be safe for children of all ages. In 2007, 3000 volunteers came together to help make this dream a reality. 850 picket fence posts are etched with the names of those who donated $35 or more. There are 25 different attractions in the City Park playground, including a tree house, slides, swings and pretend shops. There is a shaded area for minders to relax and watch their children at play.
