As the Otumba Park project received good news this week, your child is closer to enjoying a new playground in Sturgeon Bay. The George Kress Foundation has pledged a $25,000 matching gift contribution to the all-inclusive playground for the park. Lead fundraiser for the project, Ashely Schanock says the matching donation total would bring the total donations to $275,000 of the $400,000 overall goal. She shares the significance of the equipment that would be installed for children of all ages and abilities. 

The updated playground equipment will feature three distinct areas of play and equipment for ages: 6 months-24 months, 2-5 years old, and 6-12 years old. Schanock says the plan is to open the new playground by next spring. You can donate to the project by going to the Destination Sturgeon Bay website or by mailing or dropping off a check at its office on South Third Avenue.
