Woodlands Park Tot Lot needs community support


December 20, 2012 · Updated 5:13 PM 

The Woodlands Park Tot Lot needs your support as it is not part of the recently passed levy. The small play area near Mark Twain Elementary School, funded by city bond funds in 1986, has now been removed for safety reasons due to deterioration.

The North Rose Hill Neighborhood Association and Kirkland Kiwanis have been raising money for over a year to replace the structures and so far have only reached just over $4,000 of its approximate $12,000 goal.

If you can help our children have a better place to play this summer, make a year-end holiday tax deductible a 501(c)3 contribution to the Kirkland Kiwanis Foundation, 328 19th Ave. 98033-4927. It would be a shame to not see this portion of the park reopen in six months after 25 years of use.

Matt Gregory, Kirkland
