Flamingoes
Fundraising
Coming
soon to a yard near you, flocking flamingoes carrying a message of fun
and play and a request for a donation to Soldotna Community
Playground. We hope you enjoy this fun way to raise money and
awareness about our playground, set to be built next May. Check this
site often for pictures of where our flamingoes are flocking.

Soldotna Community Playground (SCP) is a non-profit group of dedicated
volunteers bringing an amazing, new playground to our community. The
playground has been designed for kids with their own input! Our 501 (c)
(3) status is under Bridges Community Resource Network.
The
playground will be located at Soldotna Creek Park, just off the Sterling
Hwy in downtown Soldotna. We will break ground
in Spring 2010. Come be a part of this wonderful project! (add link to
volunteer form here)
We
are working with internationally recognized playground designers
Leathers & Associates from upstate New York. Leathers has worked on
almost 2,000 projects throughout all 50 states and 7 countries. Seward,
Girdwood, Talkeetna and Juneau have
successfully built custom made playgrounds with Leathers.
