Community Playground Project

A group of parents from the Elba Community has banded together to make the futures of all Elba children a little more fun!  A playground has been designed by the firm Leathers and Associates, a national leader in playground design.  The firm sent a designer to Elba to met with the children at Elba Elementary School where  he gathered ideas for what they wanted in their dream playground and then drew up the plan. 

Demolition crews from the City of Elba have begun tearing down the old high school.  The facade of the old high school will remain standing and will serve as the entrance to the park. 

The playground will be a community effort and will be constructed by local citizens.  A construction date has been set for the May 2-6, 2006.  Fundraisers will be held throughout the year to help pay for the materials to build the playground.
