Jenkintown Community Playground Fundraiser
The Jenkintown Community Playground is celebrating it’s 15th Anniversary! You can commemorate this important milestone with a one of a kind T-shirt and/or Tote bag.
Fifteen years ago, over six hundred volunteers came out to build a safe, handicap accessible playground that fosters imaginative play and developmental learning for the children of Jenkintown and the surrounding communities. The playground was built with $120,000 raised largely through individual donations and the generosity of community groups and businesses. The Jenkintown Community Playground is truly one of a kind and continues to be maintained through volunteer efforts and local fundraising. Questions or interested in volunteering?
