They are still 55-thousand short of  their goal of 700-thousand dollars to build a new playground.  They are giving themselves until July first to raise it.

In May, an anonymous local donor agreed to match up to $112-thousand dollars of what the community gives.

Since then,  they have raised 55-thousand and are only 55 thousand away from their goal.

The city of Redmond is also contributing 120-thousand to the project.

The group hopes to break ground on the new playground in February of 2015 and open it to the public in May of 2015.
