Retired Picket Update:

First, THANK YOU to everyone who has purchased a retired TangleTown Playground picket! Your support means so much, and we can’t wait to get these special pieces of TangleTown history into your hands.

We wanted to provide a quick update, as we’ve had several people asking about pick-up dates. At this time, we do not have a pick-up date scheduled yet. The playground will not be demolished or pickets taken down until we have raised all of the funds needed to purchase and build the new playground.

The good news is that we’re getting closer! We have now reached approximately 73% of our fundraising goal, and we couldn’t have done it without this amazing community.

If you’re able, please continue to help us spread the word by sharing our fundraising campaign with your family, friends, coworkers, and neighbors. Every donation—big or small—brings us one step closer to making this dream a reality for the children in our community.

As soon as we have a demolition timeline and pick-up dates for retired pickets, we’ll share that information with everyone right away and contact all of you who have purchased.

Thank you again for believing in this project and for helping us preserve a piece of TangleTown while building something incredible for future generations.

We’re So Close… But We Need Your Help!

What started as a dream for our children, families, and community is becoming a reality. Thanks to the incredible generosity of so many supporters, 70% of the funding for the TangleTown Playground has already been raised!

Now we’re asking our community to help us cross the finish line.

Every child deserves a place to play, explore, make friends, and create memories that last a lifetime. TangleTown Playground will be more than just a playground—it will be a gathering place where families connect, laughter fills the air, and children of all abilities can play together.

Here’s the exciting part:
A generous corporate donor has stepped forward and is matching every donation dollar-for-dollar up to $30,000!

That means your gift today will have TWICE the impact and help us reach the final 30% needed to make this dream a reality.

Whether you can give $10, $50, $100, or more, every donation brings us one step closer to opening the gates and watching our community’s children enjoy a playground built by the people who care about them most.

Together, we’ve come this far. Together, we can finish strong.

Please consider making a donation and sharing this post with your friends and family. Let’s show what a community can accomplish when we come together for our kids.

Donate. Share. Be part of the story.
Help us build TangleTown Playground.
