Playground Work Party
April 18 @ 9:00 am - 2:00 pm
| FreeOur new play structures have arrived! And we can’t wait to get them installed.
On April 11, Friends of Underwood and the UPRD will host a volunteer work party to tear down and dispose of the old structure in order to make room for the new ones. Work will begin at 9 am and conclude around 2 pm. Friends of Underwood will provide lunch — for free! Wear comfortable work clothes and a sturdy pair of gloves. A water bottle might be handy too!
Any helping hands are welcome! We’re also specifically looking for:
- A person who has a mini-excavator to help remove concrete footings.
- Volunteer(s) who have a 1/2 to 3/4 inch impact wrench or equivalent air impact tool to remove bolts
- Volunteer(s) with an 18- to 24-inch chainsaw to cut the wood (which may still be useful!)
- A volunteer who has a truck or trailer and can haul the discarded material to the transfer station
- Volunteers to lift and carry heavy pieces of the decommissioned playground structure
Installing the new play structures will be a multi-month process, and we appreciate everyone’s patience and help! When we’re done, we’ll have a beautiful, fun new playground for Underwood families, neighbors, and friends to enjoy!
