SIRWCD is now the official owner of the Park Land
It is hard to believe that we have finally reached a major milestone with this park project. Over the last few months a lot has happened at the park site. The lot has been prepared for easy maintenance by SIRWCD, and it was officially turned over to SIRWCD on September 17. Thank you to the Berman family for the donation! The next steps are to complete electrical and irrigation systems, construct the parking lot, create a landscape buffer, and erect a fence. By this point we will have a lovely open field to use till other components of the park can be added like a playground, pavilions, basketball and racquetball courts, walking path, etc. Of course, these additional components can only be added once we have raised enough funds. We want to thank everyone who has been out there donating their money, time and energy to this park! We are planning more great fundraisers over the next few months so check the twistypines website for more information.

Future and current fundraising activities for the
Twisty Pines Playground Foundation

Over the next few months you will have many opportunities to meet and mingle with neighbors to support this community-built park and playground. Here are a few fundraisers we have planned over the next few months.

Adopt-a-tree for the park: Tree donations start at $100 and will fill our park with county mandated landscaping. You will receive a tree marker or plaque to honor your donation. Contact Sheri at 561-601-1647 for information or to give your donation.

Shopping Bags: We are selling large reusable shopping bags with the Twisty Pines Playground logo on the front. These bags are great for taking to the grocery store as well as the beach. You can purchase these bags form Sheri Murray for $10 at 561-601-1647 to show your support for the playground.

Online shoppers: Link to www.ShopToEarn.net/twistypines before you make purchases at your favorite stores. A portion of each sale will go to the playground!

Business Owners: Remember to check the playground web site to find out how to sponsor a playground component so your name can be seen at the playground for many years to come.

Personalized Fence Pickets: Routed with your name or message, these pickets will surround the playground. Individual or family pickets $30 each. Business or corporate pickets $50 each. Check the web site for order form.

Personalized Bricks: Laser engraved with your name, message, stock clip art, or company logo. These bricks will pave the entryway to the playground. Check the web site for prices and available sizes and order form.
