Why It Matters:

The future Russell Play Park will be a safe, accessible, and inclusive space where all kids can play together.

When asked to help, the Chief of Police stated, “It's a no-brainer - We need this park!

The History

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 - The Plan

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 Russell Play Park.
