Thanks to fundraisers such as the Eggs Benefit last weekend, the second phase of the Brown Drive Kin Park is purchased and on the way.
Now, organizers are looking for dedicated volunteers to come and help get it in the ground on Saturday, July 8.
This section of the park is for younger kids, age 2-5, and the work will not be as extensive, said Kinsmen Duck Paterson.
“The wood structure, the slide, the ramp, the little fort, is about half the size of the big one,” said Paterson.
Many hands make light work and Paterson is hoping between 12 and 18 people come out for the installation.
The weather was horrible for the first section of park and Paterson is hoping a nice summer sky will help bring in volunteers. Paterson said they are waiting for the dust to settle on Phase 2 before they can gauge how they are doing for the third and final phase.
The project is advancing much faster than anticipated, but the final phase will not likely be in the ground until the spring.
Donations to the park can be made at the Ladysmith and District Credit Union. Bottles are also being accepted at the depot under Brown Drive Kin Park or call 250-245-2263 for a pickup or to tell Paterson you will be attending the work party on July 8.
