As part of the second annual contest, all recreation departments and camps could enter to win an Intensity playground for their community that gets kids and families outdoors, exercising and having fun. The City of Powell will install this brand new playground customized with color to fit the surroundings.
“Playgrounds and parks play an important role in providing a space for families to be active, to gather and get much-needed time outdoors,” said Michael Phelan, president and CEO of BCI Burke Company. “We are so happy to be able to partner with Northstar Publishing, Inc. and provide a deserving community with a playground that will provide hours of active enjoyment,” Phelan added.
“This is an exciting time for us in Powell,” said Silas Bowers, Assistant Director of Parks. “Our community is vibrant and we pride ourselves on providing outdoor spaces for the whole family. Winning this playground from Burke allows us to complete an outdoor playspace much sooner than we otherwise would have, giving our residents one more place to stay active and engaged.”
