What: More 200 volunteers from JetBlue Airways, organizers from KaBOOM! and residents of Lauderhill will join forces on December 11th to build a new, safe playground at John E. Mullins Park. The new playground’s design is based on drawings provided by children who attended a Design Day event in October.
Why: The new playground will provide the 2,000 children per year who use the park with a great place to play. The City of Lauderhill, an All America City, is committed to providing programs and services that promote strong families and businesses. Partnerships with non profits and corporations are imperative in order to achieve this goal. The new community-designed and built playground from JetBlue and KaBOOM! demonstrates the community’s pride and commitment to making Lauderhill a great place to live, work and play! It is truly a great day for everyone in the City of Lauderhill!!
The play space is the eighth built by KaBOOM! and JetBlue Airways since their partnership in 2006, the second built together this year. This playground is also one of more than 150 KaBOOM! will lead across the country in 2009 in an effort to provide a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America.
