Red Hook Plays Playground Renewal Project

Red Hook Plays is seeking to enrich our community by upgrading the playground equipment at the Red Hook Rec Park for children of all ages and abilities.

Leader

Shana Weiler

Location

7 Fruit Bud Lane Red Hook, NY 12571

About the project

Red Hook Plays is a grassroots organization started by local parents who want our play facilities to be supportive, enriching and accessible to children of all ages and abilities.  Community playgrounds are important to foster social skills, promote physical activity, and to build imagination.

The Steps

Once all of the funds are raised we can order playground equipment and set plans to install it.  This will be a supervised community build project.  When the time comes we will need lots of volunteers of all abilities to help.  It is expected to take two weekends to build.  

Why we‘re doing it

Red Hook is a family-oriented town with a small but well-regarded school district.  We pride ourselves on being a place that welcomes people of all ages and abilities. Our current municipal rec park playground does not meet expressed needs in our community. The playground has never had a complete renovation and many of the pieces of equipment are 30 years old. Red Hook Plays aims to change this by providing a playground enviroment that is safe, fosters social skills and imagination of children of all ages and abilities.
