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

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

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,

Inventive fund-raising

raised came from corpora-
tions. Through a program
called A Piece of the Park,
more than 70 businesses be-
came equipment sponsors by
buying key elements-swings,

Buy a Board fund-raiser gave
individual donors a chance to
purchase a board ($S), a step

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.

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. ^
