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. 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 in the Wee
Play Tot Park as well as all of the park and playground properties
in Beacon, and overseeing their 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.
