Kinsmen Club funds playground upgrade

The local service club with a history of service in Summerland has completed another major project.

The Summerland Kinsmen Club has done it again.

The local service club with a history of service in Summerland has completed another major project.

The club completed their first playground project in 1972 when over a four-year period they built the original Kinsmen Park on Lakeshore Drive.

The latest Kinsmen playground project was the addition of new playground equipment at Julia Street Park.

The new equipment, geared for the seven and under age bracket, compliments the existing Kompan playground equipment that was also originally installed by the Summerland Kinsmen Club in the mid 1990s.

The project started in June under Kinsmen member Stacey Nodge who oversaw construction of the building of the equipment with completion by the end of July.

The construction of this project was even more amazing because of the rocks and boulders encountered during the building process.
