We are disappointed to share that our new playground was recently vandalized with permanent marker. This space was created for everyone in our community, and it is disheartening to see this happen.

If anyone has information about who may be responsible, we encourage you to contact us at 517-627-2115 or at [email protected].

We kindly ask our community to help keep an eye on this space to deter future vandalism. Let's work together to take care of it.

Thank you!
