Mission...Playpark in SoWal!!

If you are on Spring Break and are still here, make this an educational field trip for you and your family. This is a great lesson on government, where they can take pride in the community and see how to make a difference! And it's free to come!

Parents of Cub/Boy Scouts, Daisy/Brownie/Girl Scouts, please bring your kids to this meeting. I'm sure they can earn a badge being involved with the process. To be able to see this go from an idea to a grand opening/park dedication will be a powerful, first hand lesson! They will be able to take ownership of what community involvement means! This is a great legacy for all of us!

We'll be there b/c not leaving til tomorrow!:clap_1:

Citymouse, can you post also on meetup? I am going to do it also but that would be a BIG help too!

See you all with my crazy, they don't need no shugga to be hyper , kiddies!

I've posted again on meetup and as of this morning, it had 30 views....

Quickdraw McGraw! I started to post, lost my connection!

Recap: Jenny did a GRAYT JOB, sharing our history, our committment to planning, outlined our wish list, and told them we will do whatever it takes to work with the County to make this a reality! It was short but sweet! Commissioner Brannon addressed the swimming pool element, giving a contact person who had success with Freeport and Defuniak's pools! Cindy Meadows said " They will start the playground component of the wish list soon and will contact us to get the park moving along! It was GRAYT!
My friend said we did very well to get approval on the first try!
Thanks Beachmom, Jdarg, SGB ( grayt proposal- I think she has a new career in Park Planning) Organicmama, CKHagen and the rest of the moms who have worked so hard to make this happen!
Look at the moms and kids in action:

Grayt job everyone!!!!!!!!!!!! This could be really cool ]

Beachmom is my rockstar!!!

Are you kidding me???? What you did was awesome!!!! I could not have done that to save my life and you did it wonderfully!! SGB wrote up a proposal that could win anyone over and supermom is the constant cheerleader and organizer. All I did was a poster You were all grayt and did SoWal proud!:clap_1: :clap_1: :clap_1: and OM- always there to do anything and do it well with 3 smiling faces beside her. I'm just graytful to call you friends

I'm still in shock about the pool comments! I cannot wait to see how this all develops. It feels like we need to plant our flag with Beachmoms painting on it to declare our space. I know I'm tired but that image of all of us trying to plant a flag, like on the moon brings a smile to my face! I know I am sick, feel it coming on, sore throat, sore eyes.
Good job Ladies and good night!

Beachmom - this picture is really great!!

thanks for the update and pix!!! i'm so proud of you all!

this is such awesome news! civic involvement is really the only way to get this kind of thing done here i've not heard of any local officials or government, except cindy meadows, supporting interest in public spaces or infrastructure.

in nyc, though we had several playgrounds and a 600 prospect park, we were really lacking something convenient for families that offered a good pedestrian/jogging walk and good recreation services, so they decided to turn more riverside property into greenspace. anyway, i volunteered with them and they had such great ideas, i thought i'd share! here's a great link to the proprosal they drew up.
