About Rotary Club's Playground Equipment Initiative at Rotary Park

The Rotary Club is proud to announce its new initiative to enhance Rotary Park (adjacent to Cunningham Elementary School and the Southwest Boys & Girls Club) by upgrading and expanding its playground equipment. It has been the desire of Rotarians to add a handicapped swing known as a "Liberty Swing", shade sails over the existing equipment, concrete pathways, and musical instruments.   As part of our ongoing commitment to serving the community, this project aims to transform Rotary Park into a vibrant and inclusive space where children and families can gather, play, and grow together.

Our Goal

Our Goal is to provide high-quality, safe, and accessible playground equipment that enriches the lives of children in our community. By investing in the future of Rotary Park, we strive to create an inviting environment that supports active play and fosters a sense of community and belonging.

Why Playground Equipment Matters

Playgrounds are essential for the healthy development of children. They offer more than just a place for fun—they are critical spaces where children learn, socialize, and develop physical skills. Well-designed playgrounds can encourage creativity, promote physical fitness, and provide a crucial outlet for stress relief. However, without proper resources, many communities face challenges in maintaining or enhancing these vital play areas.

At Rotary Park, we recognize the need for modern, inclusive playground equipment that meets the highest safety standards and caters to children of all abilities. Our goal is to create a space that is not only enjoyable but also safe and accessible to everyone.

Here is an example of the Liberty Swing!
