As soon as they can install it, you will see new playground equipment at the Kendall Park playground in Baileys Harbor. The Kendall Park Playground Committee has raised enough money to purchase all the necessary equipment to make the park accessible for children of all abilities. The original fundraising goal was adjusted when it was decided to hold off on the poured concrete surface for at least a few years while they discussed additional options. When completed, the playground will have a large central structure with smaller pieces of equipment surrounding it. Getting to this point is a considerable accomplishment for Kari Baumann, who is organizing the efforts. The park is named after her late sister Kendall Weisgerber, and she is thrilled the community has supported their efforts so strongly.

Baumann says you will likely see the smaller pieces of equipment installed in late spring and hopes the entire park will be open for use by the end of the summer. While the equipment is purchased, the Kendall Park Playground Committee is still fundraising to help cover the installation costs. You can donate directly to the Baileys Harbor Community Association.
