STRATFORD --
A Stratford community group is rallying residents together to get an aging playground at a local school replaced.
Simple Dreams has started a two dollar give away initiative to upgrade the playground at Hamlet Public School.
“The playground equipment isn’t just for Hamlet School, it’s for people in the community,” said group president Richard Kneider. “With what we’re going through right now, it’s essential.”
The existing structure is 20 years old and needs to be updated to be made wheelchair accessible as well as fit the needs of younger children.
The fundraising efforts began in 2017 with a goal of $65,000.
