Playground by the Sound: What They're Talking About

In the end, the University Place community came together to build a playground for the kids that should last for years.

After a big push Saturday and Sunday, volunteers completed construction. Kids got to play and test the new equipment last night.

And we can’t stop talking about it.

Here’s a sampling of what people are saying about the project, based on Facebook and University Place Patch:

“All my limbs are sore too, 3- 1/2 days and 2 full are 2 1/2 days more than my body is used to! What a great experience and so much good spirited effort and downright hard work by so many people. Thanks everyone.” - Adrianne Bishop Bird

“The ribbon cutting ceremony and opportunity to check out the new playground was a great event tonight! Thank you to all the many people who worked so hard on this!” - Barbara Kearley

“It was so awesome to work on this project and then to be there when the kids used it for the first time!! Thank-you to all the leaders that made this happen!!!” - LeAnn Riegel

“I am sooooo excited!” - Angela Gomillion

“Barry is the best!” – Alicia Ambrogio

“So excited to see all the photos posted! Looks like things are going well and hope everyone is having a fun time! Please continue sharing photos. I wish I was there to help! Barry Segal and David B Johnson are both wonderful leaders. Enjoy!” - Kyle Cundy
