We’re working to raise $100,000 to renovate Chelsea Park Playground, and we’d love your help!

We’re looking for community members who are interested in helping spread the word, connect us with potential donors and sponsors, organize fundraising activities, and build community support for the project.

We’re also looking for community input on reimagining how the playground fits into the larger library property, with the goal of developing plans that will position us for future grant opportunities.

If you’d like to be part of a committee to help make this vision a reality, please join us! No particular experience or expertise is required, just enthusiasm for Chelsea Park and our community. Come learn more, share your ideas, and see how you might like to get involved.
