PLAYGROUND RENOVATIONS
FINAL REPORT
Prepared
for the International Grenfell Association
The Cook's Harbour Recreation Committee undertook a Playground Renovation
project during the year 2000. The project involved landscaping, removing
and replacing equipment, and constructing a fence. To complete the project
the recreation committee pursued various organizations for funding (refer
to Appendix A).
The project was completed in three phases. The phases are as follows:
Phase 1: Area Renovations
To begin the renovation phase student workers employed on a summer student
project cleaned up the area. The student workers along with volunteers from
the community removed the existing equipment and fencing. Once this was
completed the recreation committee purchased backfill which was distributed
over the area by student workers.
Phase 2: Equipment Installation
The next phase of the project involved the installation of playground
equipment. To accomplish this the recreation committee requested the help
of volunteers from the community. The committee received help from a number
of volunteers who began working to accomplish this phase of the project.
The volunteers came back to the recreation committee and explained the
necessary procedures for installing the equipment and the person power
needed for such an endeavor. Based upon the information presented to the
recreation committee it was decided to approach the Town Council for assistance.
The Town Council aided with this phase of the project by hiring four
workers to assist with the assembly and erection of the equipment. These
workers, along with the volunteers, took approximately three weeks to
complete this phase of the project.
Phase 3: Fencing
The final phase of the project involved constructing a fence around the
playground boundaries. Again, the Town Council workers and the community
volunteers were active in completing this phase of the project.
As you can determine from the enclosed pictures (refer to Appendix B) the
Cook's Harbour Recreation Committee has achieved its main aim and
objective. The playground is now a safe and fun environment for the
children of the community to play.
