Playground Build Week Upcoming; Volunteers Still Needed

If you build it, they will come.

But what if you need them to build it?

Hollywood sports cliches aside, the group is preparing for its , when volunteers will construct the structure at Chambers Creek Properties.

Linda Bird, University Place's former mayor and one of the biggest proponents of the project, says volunteers are prepping the site near the North Meadow area for the big build.

Already, a group from Joint Base Lewis-McChord's 864th Engineering Bridgade drilled the first holes for posts.

Volunteer John Heinzinger surveyed more than 200 of the holes.

However, the Playground by the Sound effort is still looking for volunteers to help build. Patch is going to be there, as well as others in the community.
