Past & Future . . . . .
In 2021, Harrisburg Christian Church’s Outreach Team
met with Harrisburg School District to discuss
partnering in a renovation of the dilapidated play-ground structure at 6th and Smith Street, as well as landscaping the area in front of the old Tennis Courts - now known as "THE NEST" Basketball/Pickle Ball courts. The HCC Outreach Team removed the old playground equipment in 2021 and landscaped the front area in 2022. It is now time to replace that old playground structure with a new one and prices have risen dramatically over the last several years. After consulting with a couple of different companies that work with school districts, and getting multiple quotes, we have selected Wildwood Playgrounds NW. An initial $128,000+ was raised to replace the old playground structure and swings, as well as make the playground ADA compliant. Additional equipment we be added as separate "projects" to be fund raised to support.
There will also be a fitness component that our Elementary and Middle School PE teachers can use, as well as folks in our community. This playground will remain open to the public.
Harrisburg PTA joined the efforts, the City of Harrisburg donated $15,000 and we received a grant from Lane County Health and Human Services in conjunction with Trillium for $16,000. Harrisburg School District donated the final $26,000 to this project as the rest was raised through local community individuals and businesses. Other Grant requests are being applied for to fund more new equipment to be added. We await results of those applications.
