COMMUNITY HELPS OUT AT WOODLAND ESTATES PLAYGROUND

WEIRTON — Residents of the Woodland Estates community came out on Saturday to invest in a local park in response to a Volunteer Workday organized by Ward 3 Councilman Jesse Keeder.

About 25 people volunteered around four hours of their Saturday at Woodland Estates Playground engaging in tasks such as leaf and branch removal, play surface enhancement, court cleanup and general cleaning. In all, the volunteers contributed between 75 and 100 man hours of volunteer labor.

Councilman Keeder worked with the Park Board to organize the event and pledged to contribute his $5,000 in civic contributions to continued improvements at the park.

In all, the volunteers were able to complete work that would've taken the small Park Board maintenance about three days to complete.

For more information on how you can get involved with volunteer efforts that benefit parks & recreation, contact the Weirton Park Board's main office at (304) 797-8520
