Port Washington is Full of Possibilities

Beginning today and continuing on until Sunday, September 21st, an army of volunteers are expected to descend upon Port Washington's Upper Lake Park to create Possibility Playground, a universally accessible play area. Conceived by a grass-roots organization and organized over the last year, Possibility Playground will feature ramps and slides snaking through a replica of the Port Washington Lighthouse, a chain walk castle, tunnels, a mural of Lake Michigan and a pirate ship. With its flat surfaces and wide ramps, the park is meant to be enjoyed by all children, regardless of their physical limitations. Since it is being built at a blistering pace from the ground up, many volunteers are still needed to help out. Work days start at 8am and continue until 8pm, each shift is 4 hours long and you can take as many shifts as you would like. Food will be provided for all volunteers and child care for potty-trained children is available at nearby Port Washington Yacht Club. Kids 14 or older are welcome to help with construction and those kids between 10 and 13 can help their parents out. Even if you have never picked up a hammer in your life, you can always help hold a board for someone who is cutting or nailing something. Everyone is welcome. Come down to Port Washington to help out this wonderful cause. They need all the help they can get!
