A group of local citizens is working with the Township to build Freedom Playground at the Haverford Reserve. Freedom Playground will be a state of the art, custom-built play structure, made from composite lumber. This playground will cater to children of all abilities, including autism, spina-bifida, sensory issues, allergies and more, giving them 100% accessibility to all areas of the play structure.
The committee has already organized several events, raising over $90,000 so far. After enough funds have been raised, the playground will be built by 1,500 local volunteers in a one week period. If you are interested in making a donation or helping with fundraising, contact Ann Phillips at 610-446-3453. Visit their website www.FreedomPlay.org for more information.

Volunteer sign-ups
We are looking for volunteers to help build the playground this fall for one four-hour shift. Both skilled and unskilled workers are needed to serve food, babysit, move lumber and physically build the structure in the spirit of a community barn raising. Volunteers are asked to provide their name, phone number and/or email so that when Build Week is set we will call you to see how your schedule can accommodate a four-hour shift. Free lunch, dinner and babysitting will be provided. Please call Maria Pardini 610-960-6638 or sign up through our website www.FreedomPlay.org .
