About
a dozen men volunteered for a Cities
of Service event to install playground equipment at two City parks on
a chilly 2014 November 22nd Day. The equipment was purchased through a
grant from the Mayor
Bloomberg Philanthropy Cities of Service Grant received earlier in the
year. The crew worked at both Abbott Court Park in the City's South End
and at Turner Park in the North End. Dave Perry from the Department
of Community Maintenance was on hand to direct the operation.
Volunteer Tom Gagne, who lives in Somerset but works in Fall River, was
one of the volunteers who donated their time and labor to get major
equipment into the ground before winter. The remainder of the installation
will be completed in the spring. Click
