You're Invited To The 5th Birthday Celebration of Barrett's Place Playground

BARRETT’S PLACE PLAYGROUND’S 5^TH BIRTHDAY/MAINTENANCE DAY

OCTOBER 30, 2010

It’s been five years since the Pendleton area came together to build Barrett’s Place Playground in memory of Barrett Beck and others in the community.   The unique playground was built in just 5 days by over 1500 volunteers with the $180,000 that was raised in 6 months.  In 2005, Pendleton Pride In Motion organized this amazing community effort and each year volunteers return to the playground to reflect on its purpose, celebrate its existence and do all the needed maintenance work. 

October 30^th will be the 5^th Birthday of Barrett’s Place Playground and this birthday party will not resemble your traditional birthday celebrations.  There will be balloons, cake and a fun time, but that is about all that would make you think this is a birthday party.  Participants will come with their work gloves on and ready to spend the morning hauling and spreading new mulch, installing new pickets and pavers, adding new sand to the sandbox, sealing the wood and much, much more.  Ed Kirkley, one of the organizers of the event, says, “There is a job for everyone and lots to be done”.

The 5^th Barrett’s Place Birthday/Maintenance Day is organized by Friends of the Park, a group of dedicated citizens interested in making Veterans Park the best it can be.  Friends of the Park invites everyone to join them on October 30 at 8:30 a.m. for a morning of chores and celebration at both Barrett’s Place Playground and Trotter’s Trail at Veterans Park. 

The 2010 Volunteers of the Year for Friends of the Park will be announced during the morning of the Birthday Celebration.  Two volunteers will be recognized for their contributions to Veterans Park with a plaque and a personalized picket will be placed at the playground in their honor.

Personalized Pickets and Pavers are still available.  Contact Kim (287-7634) to place your order.

This year we will be planting 25 dogwood trees around Trotter’s Trail and will need help getting these in the ground.

For more information call Kim Beck 287-7634 or Ed Kirkley 646-6291.  Also, check out our website to read more about Barrett’s Place http://www.squidoo.com/barretts-place-playground
