Kaboom! looking for playground designers for Esperanza Park project

Kaboom! invites both adults and children to participate in the Esperanza Playground design survey

“A new playground is coming to Esperanza Park and we’re looking for designers,” are the words on a Kaboom! flier announcing a design meetup at El Progreso Memorial Library on Wednesday, February 8th at 11:30 AM.  Children and adults are invited to participate and  submit designs both at the February 8th meetup and virtually through a Vision Study through the Kaboom!  Esperanza Vision website 

“KABOOM!, the City of Uvalde, and The CarMax Foundation are building a new playground at Esperanza Park this April! We want you to be a part of designing this playground! Come share your ideas at a Design Event following Story Hour at El Progreso Memorial Library on February 8 at 11:30AM. You can also share your ideas at https://tinyurl.com/EsperanzaVision ,”   an official statement released by Kaboom! reads.

The playground design survey will close at 12:01AM on February 9 according to Kaboom! Once the designs are finalized Kaboom! will share the community’s ideas with the manufacturer. 

Bicki Rudd has been named as Kaboom! Project Director for the Esperanza Park Project.  The CarMax Foundation is funding the project, and volunteers from the foundation will be joining the community on the April 20 Build Day. And the Rotary Club of Uvalde has generously agreed to provide additional partnership on the ground to help support the project.
