Over 20 years ago, the Russell community came together to raise funds and build a beautiful playground in Memorial Park. Many happy hours have been spent there by area children, but the playground is nearing the end of its lifespan.

Russell Play Park - A Park for EVERYONE!

A campaign is underway to raise funds to build a fully accessible playground in its place! This playground will include ramps allowing access to upper levels of the main play structure, a wheelchair accessible merry go round and glider, sensory equipment and best of all, a surface material that will provide ease of movement around the space for all, including those in wheelchairs and with mobility challenges.

The fundraising plan utilizes foundation grants, business sponsorships, private donations, and events to fund the the Russell Play Park.

LEMONADE STAND CHALLENGE 2023

Area kids and seniors have signed up for the challenge, hosting stands June 23 - 24, selling lemonade and other goodies to raise funds for the Russell Play Park. Participants are competing for cool prizes in 3 categories: Best Stand Design, Most Creative Name and Most Money Raised! Local businesses are lending their support by donating prizes for the challenge. Everyone that hosts a stand will receive something. It's lots of fun and a great way to get involved and help build a park for EVERYONE!
