[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For preK the playground is a big deal.  Most pre-k programs have lots of playground time as part of the curriculum.  Eaton has a nice modernized, clean and safe playground.  They also have the option to go over to Macomb recreation center when the big kids are testing or repair work is being done on the facilities. Macomb is very well maintained and kept clean. My best guess is that MV plans on using the playground across 16th street next year.  That is not a nice playground even through they recently renovated it.  It is often littered with broken glass and empties.

You may want to visit both schools, plus the Lamont Street playground and do a final gut check.   [/quote]

Actually, the plan is to 1) clean up the playground across the street at 16th st in partnership with Creative Minds, 2) develop a playground behind the building and 3) use other playgrounds nearby, e.g. Meridian and Girard Parks[/quote]

What's the timeframe for developing a playground behind the building and is there funding in place for that? [/quote]

yes they have a KaBOOM grant.[/quote]

I think KaBOOM is the same grant EL Haynes received, right? I hope they do a better job for MV. They built it in a weekend with seemingly no upkeep funding. At this point the Haynes PG is a dust pit. [/quote]
