In preparation for the 2023 summer season, the Parliament Pool Board is renovating the pool’s play area.  We recognized the value in providing this other-than-swimming activity for our younger members and determined there was a strong need to improve our playscape to an adequately sized, structurally-safe, and of course, FUN, facility. In November 2022, we completed Phase 1 of the project—leveling the area and adding a square 35-foot mulch pit surround—and we are now moving into Phase 2.  The new playground will comply with current playground safety standards and will be manufactured in the USA.  It is also modular, and can be expanded in the future.

At this time, we are reaching out to our families and community businesses and asking for your financial support. The goal is to raise $20,000. Our Swim and Dive Team has generously donated $7,000 and has offered to match each donation up to an additional $3,000 to help complete the construction of this project! We have plans that include different playsets depending on the amount raised, and any unused or additional funds collected will be used to purchase additional items for the play area such as picnic tables or modular expansions in the future.

To show appreciation for your support, Bronze and Silver level donations will be recognized in the Parliament Press newsletter. Gold, Platinum, and Diamond donors will receive permanent recognition on signage next to the new play area. Donations will be leveled as follows: Bronze ($50 – $99), Silver ($100 – $249), Gold ($250 – $499), Platinum ($500 – $999), and Diamond ($1,000 or more).

The Pool Board will bring the new playground to Parliament Pool in time for Summer 2023, and we ask for your support. Please consider donating to help us reach our goal of providing a new playground for the children of our community and their families.  Also, we encourage you to share the link to this Donate page with friends, family, or business contacts.  We’ll track and report progress of the fundraising via email and on this page.  Thank you in advance for your support!

If you have any questions regarding the playground, would like to help, or are interested in donating via cash or check, please contact Colin Wiemer at wiemerc@gmail.com.
