Sam Johnson Park Playground Named

REDMOND, OR -- Redmond City Councilors unanimously approved a request by the Parks Committee to name the new playground under construction at Sam Johnson Park, "Hope Playground." The new playground is expected to open in October, and is designed to be 100% accessible to all ages and abilities.

 

"Naming the new play area 'Hope Playground' reflects the spirit of the playground as a gathering place for all abilities. It is truly a place built by the community, for the community and that is something to be proud of," Chelsea Dickens with Friends of Sam Johnson Park said in a written statement.

 

The project was funded in part by private donations and a number of community organizations, including the Kiwanis Foundation.

 

Custom metal entry signs designating the playground facility "Hope Playground - a Place for Everyone" will be installed as construction is completed.
