Where do you play?   The mission of the Wee Play Community Project is to make the City of Beacon child-friendly, parent-friendly, and wonderful place to help our children grow.  By focusing on the needs of children in the community under the age of six and their families, we are targeting a group that would not otherwise have a forum to meet, network, or organize to develop projects and resources suited to their needs.  Our objective is to build our organization from a social network of people who desire to do great things for the children in our community and have fun while doing it.  Our initial endeavor has been to build an age-appropriate children's playground and children's garden.   Phase I of the playground build was completed in April of 2006.  Phase II which includes the children's garden is scheduled to be finished in the Spring of 2010.   Ongoing community support in the form of Park Stewardship is a key factor in creating a play environment that continues to meet quality standards.  The group has established a relationship with the City of Beacon Recreation Department that gives an organized coalition of community parents input into the park's design, maintenance and use.  We also continue to develop an ongoing organization committed to donating funds for future improvements and overseeing the park's success in meeting the needs of the community. 

Be sure to get in touch to offer comments and let us know of your interest in this project.  We'll be glad to add you to our email list for important action items.   Inspiration for this project, both in play environment concept and park stewardship, is based upon the wonderfully successful Cold Spring Tiny Tots Play Park. The Cold Spring Tiny Tots Play Park has enriched the lives of countless children over the years, both from their community and ours.  Our many thanks for the inspiration and sunny days they have shared with us.
