Spring Clean up at McKinley Community Play Garden: Former site of 1880 Longfellow School playground.

The McKinley Community Play Garden located 3518 S. Wolcott Ave, will be having their Spring Cleanup on April 24th at 1:00pm. All are welcome to join.

In 2016 a group of volunteers from the community put together a plan with input from the community and designed a beautiful play garden. Through their hard work and fundraisers the play garden was build. Now kids are able to play in the exact same spot kids did 145 years ago.
