The results are IN! Our Hanscom Park Renewal Playground Design Team solicited playground feature ideas from the EXPERTS: our neighborhood kids! Their ideas were solicited via interactive workshops and at the recent Field Club 4th of July parade. The information provided by the kids has been compiled into this document, and the Playground Design Team is now asking for inputs and insights from the rest of our neighbors before submitting formal recommendations to the City of Omaha Parks Department on Wednesday, July 22nd. Please review this document, and then send any additional inputs and insights directly to the Playground Design Team leader, Tim.
What Happens Next?
We are asking the City for more details on what happens after the initial recommendations are made and we’ll let you know once we know. We're hoping that the City will come back to us with several alternative designs for us to choose from. One thing that is certain, the playground design will definitely depend on the amount of funds we collectively raise for the park. There will be *many* opportunities to help raise funds -- whether that is soliciting grant funds, contributing ideas for other fundraising opportunities, volunteering to help put those fundraising events together, and/or making direct donations to the Hanscom Park Renewal project. Please consider volunteering to help out in these areas, and please provide us with your name and contact information if you *might* be interesting in helping so that we can provide you information on opportunities as they arise.
Together, let's make sure our kids have the BEST new playground in Omaha!
