With support from The Pub Fountains, Fort Bend Cares extended its assistance to children and youth in Fort Bend County from financial to physical in the form of a new playground, located in Community Park in Rosenberg.
The NaturePlay playground, designed by Burke for five to 12 year-olds, includes slides, climbing features, a sliding pole and more. The new playground, plus a shade structure and benches, were formally approved by the Rosenberg City Council in June. In consultation with local playground company Fun Abounds, Inc. and with the help of community members and Fort Bend Cares volunteers, installation of the new playground and related improvements is set for Saturday, October 24th.
“While we are proud of the positive impact we have on improving the lives of children and youth in Fort Bend County through our grants to many non-profits in the area, it is great to contribute directly to the health and wellbeing of children in a tangible way through the installation of a playground,” said Angie Wierzbicki, Fort Bend Cares Executive Director.
As of August, $56,700 of the $65,300 total cost of the project has been raised through generous corporate and individual donors. For more information about the new playground or sponsor opportunities, email Angie Wiezbicki at angie@fortbendcares.org, call 832-819-2005 or visit www.fortbendcares.org.
