The Playground We're Building

A playground that’s fully accessible, and built for Plymouth's kids. Here's exactly what your donation makes possible.

We have worked with Miracle Recreation through WeBuildFun Inc. to develop a full playground design for Fairground Park. The proposed equipment is fully ADA accessible. Designed for children ages 5 to 12 with 15 total play activities including a main tower structure, glide-along elements, and a complete swing set with inclusive seating, a tire swing, and belt swing options.

We continue to remain open to community input and ideas!

Working with the City of Plymouth

The City of Plymouth has a history of partnering with neighborhood organizations on park improvements through cost-sharing arrangements. We are in active discussions with the city to understand whether a similar arrangement is available for Fairground Park. We will publish any formal commitment on this page if one becomes available.

If the City Participates
$125K
raised by FPA could potentially unlock roughly $175K–$190K in city investment, bringing total project value to ~$255K–$295K.
Based on Comparable Projects
~1.5:1
The city's contribution to Lion's Club Park exceeded the club's share due to site work complexity — a dynamic we anticipate at Fairground as well to a lesser exent.
These figures are illustrative based on comparable Plymouth park projects and do not represent a confirmed city commitment.
