More than 3,700 community members helpec construct the 10,000-square foot playground, which rise from the northeast corner o Community Park in Davis, California.

Inspfred by children, Rainbow City playground began with their drawings (far left). The town pitched is to build it. ~~m~„ ~-......~ cipal designers-the town's elementary school children. A year of organizing, de- signing, and inspired fund- raising preceded the well- orchestrated construction days. The project involved volunteers from a wide cross- section of the entire commu- nity: city government, the chamber of commerce, local businesses, interested citizens, parents, teachers, and the children. The dedicated work- ers successfully raised almost $110,000 and created a play structure that would have JANUARY 1992 JANUARY 1992 cost more than $300,000 if built privately. To make the project flow smoothly, the organizing group of parents hired archi- tect Robert Leathers of 'Itha- ca, New York, who has helped hundreds of communi- ties develop plans and orga- nize to build playgrounds. His $13,000 fee wvered •consulta- tions on a design day and an organization day, plans, two consultants for the five days of construction, and such in- formational material as step- by-step directions. Although the parkland belongs to the city of Davis, the local chamber of com- merce sponsored Project Play- park during the planning and construction phases. This per- mitted the project to gain nonprofit status and obtain li- ability insurance. To allow Project Playpark to become eligible for dis- counts on building materials, to provide a source of experi- enced craftsmen, and to ease the stockpiling and moving of mountains of needed sup- plies, alocal construction firm was designated as super- vising contractor. 'honing design dreams into reality On Design Day, a member of Leathers's firm met with youngsters ages 6 through 11, listened to their ideas, and re- viewed their drawings. After distilling the chil- dren's ideas, the firm present- ed aplan that included the best suggestions from these would-be playground archi- tects: amonster maze, mir- rors in a tunnel, a labyrinth, 69 CnNRFT ILLUSTRATION• NAOYI •rnsr,e ~sP~ /~t~e --- . ~a~ ,.\ ~ ~ ~•~, i 1 Q =~ i Beehive slide stasted with Original "plans' is craYon• Porthole cutouts is framing were made before assembly of vertical boards.

On a smaller scale, the Buy a Board fund-raiser gave individual donors a chance to purchase a board ($S), a step ($12), or a platform ($120). One goal of the year-long fund drive was to make giving money as entertaining and painless as possible. Fun runs, honey sales, tricycle races, T- shirt sales, a Halloween car- nival, garage sales, barbecues, square dances, and a Christ- mas ball proved successful. In a delightfully corrupt race for honorary mayor, each candidate "bought" ~_ 1.~` votes from his potential con- stituents; areal estate agent guaranteed his election by raising $3,500. A Pennies From Heaven contest drew schools into a spirited penny- collecting competition. Also, 300 children designed and sold wall tiles at $25 apiece. Construction days As the building days ap- proached, supplies-mainly vast stockpiles of pressure- treated Southern yellow pine-were brought to the site, and 6,000 job shifts were assigned. Safe jobs for chil- dren included scrubbing tires and sanding wood. Heary construction was left to the adults, with supervision by experienced carpenters. Res- taurants donated food for all the workers. Day One achieved the posi- tioning of 180 telephone poles in holes dug by crews from the telephone and power com- panies. The concrete had set by the next morning, when volunteers reported for duty. Over the next four days, so many people showed up to help that the project could have been finished a day ahead of schedule. Instead- to give everyone a chance to participate-construction came to resemble anold- fashioned barn raising: people sanded wood by hand instead of using belt sanders, and a bucket brigade replaced a tractor to move in some of the 275 tons of beach sand that covers the ground. When construction was completed, the fund-raisers found they had exceeded their goal by $21,000. The bonus was used to buy and install a lighting system. ^ By Peter O.
