The playground is set to be delivered on October 18th! We're planning on a construction weekend on October 29th-30th and possibly the next weekend, mark the date on your calendars! Thanks to all that helped to make this possible.
This playground is a testament to Leon and Co's gift of scrounging. Thirteen years ago it was being thrown away by an apartment complex in Vinton, salvaged, and installed at the park. It sits next to the entry road into the camping area. Some of the existing equipment is not safe by today’s standards and could not be moved to a new location.

Well
now it's time for something NEW! Feast your eyes upon this! We're planning on
taking out the old playground and adding new camping sites. The new playground
will be located in the middle of the campground.


The
county conservation board is supplying half of the funding while we are
challenged with coming up with the rest. We've made quite a bit of progress, and
have received a Black Hawk County Gaming Grant as well as undertaken other fund raising
efforts. Below is a diagram of the proposed playground.
