As Alumni of Argyle Schools, chances are you have played on the current playground in Legion Park, not much has changed in the estimated 35 years since the equipment was installed…

Now, we need new playground equipment at Argyle Legion Park. The current set is missing a slide, another slide is cracked. The merry-go-round, while nostalgic, is no longer safe. Platforms are faded and rotting, you get the point. We are looking to get rid of everything that is currently there and put in entirely new equipment. As you can probably guess, it is going to be very costly.

We are challenging the Alumni to help us raise money for the new park. If each class since 1960 can donate $1,000 we can get to $65,000. If we can up that to $1,500 per class, we will reach nearly $100,000. The total cost is probably going to be closer to $350,000. We are trying to also raise money through grants, but we just don’t know how much that will be. The new plan includes a walking path to and around the park, in some capacity, so it is not only usable by kids, but adults, seniors, and those that have special needs as well. We are designing and choosing quality equipment that will hopefully last another 35 years.

If you have not been to Argyle Legion Park lately, it is often full of people. Seven days a week, you can see kids playing, ball games going on, and families using the shelter houses, and it is great! From late Spring to early Fall there are soccer, baseball, softball, and football games nearly every day of the week. We truly have one of the most used parks in the area. Argyle deserves clean, safe, and inclusive spaces where children can play, seniors can stay active, and neighbors can connect.

Are you willing and able to help us reach our goal?
Winning Class will be recognized at Homecoming 2025 in Argyle.
