On Saturday, August 18, a group of 21 adults and 7 children volunteered their day to clean up and paint Maple Street playground in New Eagle.
The playground equipment and fence were washed, sanded and painted in an effort to make the playground more enjoyable for children to play on.
The event was organized by Michelle DeHosse and Corrina Withrow. Paint was provided by New Eagle Council and also donated by Sarah and Sean O’Brien. Water and Gatorade was donated by Michele LaCarte, Hills Restaurant and the 7/11 in New Eagle. A lunch was provided by Jim and Caralee Coulter, owners of Pizza Station in New Eagle and served in the Arros Haymaker’s Hall in New Eagle that was donated for their use by the Haymaker’s.
Volunteers included State Senator Camera Bartolotta, State Representative Bud Cook and New Eagle’s Mayor Chas Fine. The volunteer group is planning on partnering with New Eagle Council and Monongahela Area Revitalization Corp. (MARC) to add some new equipment and other updates to the playground in the near future.
