The Playground Build Story

The photos are arranged in a "story" sequence, left to right and top to bottom. The "story" is slanted for viewing by Central Lions members. E.g., it has "in-house/in-club" meaning.

To start the slide show, Click on the upper-left "thumbnail" photo, just below on the left. This will bring up a large photo. Then click on this large photo to see the next large photo, and so on, to continue through all 58 photos. Yes, FIFTY-EIGHT!

If you want to see an individual photo without going through the whole series of 58, just click below on whichever individual photo you'd like presented in large format.
Old Lions Park Playground -- November 22, 2005 Installed in '60's and '70's. Outdated, not up to code Make way for new playground How do you unload 8199 lbs of pure joy?
Lion Bob likes to get into his work! Needed: Unpacking and construction to finish this job! Kurt Nichols and K&K Trenching volunteers backhoe for demolition. Lion Ken using his chainsaw for demolition of old playground.
Hey, we're gonna build this playground. We're the guys who know how to build it! Lions Donna and Betty signed up 109 volunteers on build day. Lion Bob says, "Let's get that hole to correct depth!"
Lion Ken "supervises" Lion Bob at the hole auger This project full of holes will rest on a strong foundation. It takes a cooperative team plus a good Lion on a wrench to put this puzzle together. Okay, hold on tight. Don't let it fall down.
Everybody ready? Now lift! Wow! Will Lions Chick and Mike get the bolts into place? Crucial bolt connections by Lions Chick and Mike End of day one of pre-build assembly
Really now! Is this how this thing goes together? Okay, Lion Bill. Yer doin' good. Lions Jon and John: This is a great Lions project. No complaints. Everybody having fun. We always wanted to work our way to the top.
We're almost ready for Build Day. Another preliminary stage of assembly completed. Yep, the pole looks straight. Are the poles in the right holes?
Lion Dale walks by work to be done. Who says you have to have a gallery to see sculptured art? Where do these pictures go? Yes, here's that part, right here in the plans.
The big tube convention Capping the roof Lion Mark ... Here is the bolt! Lion Mark's focused wrench ratcheting.
Don't drop it, Lion John McCabe! Everybody is still happy. A twisted delight Cook crew at the mess hall.
Lions in a well-deserved grub break. Making concrete. Lion John F:" Hey, Everybody, come get the chips!" There's the chips. Let's go help.
Give a Lion a shovel and he smiles. The chip parade goes on and on and on .... Never too young to help. Spreading chips to cushion falling children.
Helping hands. 109 volunteers for Build Day. Line up for the official ribbon cutting. Three of Moscow's finest young lads cut the ribbon. The finished project ... Yippee!
Sidewalk superintendents ... Every project needs them. Build Day plus two days --- Kids playing while parents watch. How many kids can you put on a spiral slide? How can this climbing wall be so much fun?
  "Hey, this is too easy!" The joyous expression on the face of a child epitomizes the impact of this gift to the community. Thank you, Central LIons!
