“We will be working with the community and the City and many of the residents to build a new playground,”
Kaboom! will once again be coming back to Uvalde in April of 2022 with a new playground project in mind, this time at Esperanza Park located on Grove Street in Uvalde, Texas according to Kaboom! organizer Jennifer Diamond who spoke to the Rotary Club of Uvalde Thursday, January 5th, at noon via Zoom at the Club’s regularly scheduled meeting.
The build dates for the project are Tuesday, April 18th through Thursday, April 20th, 2022.
“We will be working with the community and the City and many of the residents to build a new playground,” Diamond said. She went on to say she is expecting to have some volunteers for the funding program.
After Diamond’s presentation. The Rotary Club of Uvalde voted to partner with Kaboom! to help coordinate the effort and to recruit volunteers and prepare the logistics.
Diamond said the park project they are planning will be smaller than the DeLeon Park Playground which was constructed in October 2022. “It will be smaller as the park itself is smaller. It will be closer to 2500 square feet,” Diamond said
The big build day is slated for Thursday, April 20th and they are looking for 50 to 100 volunteers on that day according to Diamond.
