Firestone playground
The Firestone Project Playground committee is mobilizing efforts to construct a new inclusive playground in Firestone Park in Columbiana. The committee is currently seeking design surveys from community members until Dec. 31 via their website (https://playatfirestone.com/#survey). Their goal is to collect data from the community and submit their findings to potential design firms for renderings/proposals. In lieu of a physical present, the team is launching a promotion encouraging the community to "Give the Gift of Play" and make a donation in a loved one's name. This unique gift will continue to give generations of families and friends the gift of inclusive fun in Columbiana's historic Firestone Park (visit https://playatfirestone.com/product/gift-of-play/).
