A community build for the playground at Niantic Park will be held from Wednesday, Oct. 14 through Sunday, Oct. 18. Volunteers are needed to help with all aspects of the community build process — including construction, landscaping, registration and food. Children aged 10 to 13 may work next to their parents on the work site, but must be within arms reach of their parents at all times. Children aged 14 to 17 may work on crews without parents, but may not use power tools.

Volunteers are asked to bring the following items to the work site: hammer, tape measure, nail apron, No. 2 pencil, safety goggles and work gloves. Drills and extension cords will also be needed. The project will take place rain or shine, unless the weather is severe.

The park playground project will continue to post updates on its Facebook page. Look forward to seeing everyone October.
