Graceada Park Tot Playground Equipment Restoration Project

Thanks to Leadership Modesto 2018, a program of the Modesto Chamber of Commerce, the Graceada Park Tot Playground equipment has been replaced. On June 11, 2018 a ribbon cutting celebration was held with families and children filling the park and enjoying the new playground structure. After the original equipment was damaged by fire, a completely new set was purchased with volunteer installation. Because of successful fundraising efforts, a new merry-go-round (Omni Spin) was also added for children to enjoy. The celebration included speeches, hot dogs, snacks, and plenty of community joy.

The following members of the 2018 Leadership Modesto Class collaborated to bring this project to completion through their collective effort and leadership: Chris Adams, Willie Betschart, Josh Boyd, Kirstie Boyett (Lead for this project), Brent Burnside, Eric Capron, Stan Carlson, Monica, Doll, Ryan Dziadosz, Domenica Escatel, Jerod Havel, Denise Hecht, Patrick Kelly, Celise Krik, Victoria Popoff, Brandon Rebiero, Laurie Sanny, Alana Scott, Nicki Tyler, John Wilson, William Wong
