A Salem High School junior is looking for donations for his Eagle Scout project to install a wheelchair swing at Waterworth Memorial Park.
Sam Murray first approached the Salem Parks Commission last summer about his idea, which still needed the approval of his Eagle Scout committee and the Sandy Beaver district. Since then, he received all approvals necessary to go forward.
Murray, a member of Troop 6 at St. Paul Church, posted details on the park department’s social media page and also addressed city council during a recent meeting.
The cost of the project is estimated at $8,500 for the cost of the swing, concrete pad and signage.
