HOUGHTON -- The Keweenaw Family Resource Center will present an informational meeting about plans for its indoor playground for young children at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 15, at the Portage Lake District Library.
Cathy Benda, director of the Keweenaw Family Resource Center, and Jessica DellaValla, chair of the Friends of Winter Park, will present an overview of the project, share details of the latest developments, and show slides of the concept and design plans for the playground. There will be time for the audience to ask questions, make suggestions, share ideas and enjoy refreshments.
The purpose of the playground is to provide an indoor playspace for children ages 0-5 that provides opportunities for sensorimotor development, physical exercise to combat common childhood disorders associated with a sedentary lifestyle, interactions between parents and children, imaginative play and lots of fun.
The idea began when parents with young children wished there was a place for vigorous indoor play during the long winter months. The public is invited to hear how the project evolved into what is now called "The Tree House, a KFRC Indoor Playground."
Presentations at the library are free and everyone is welcome. For more information about the playground, visit http://houghtonwinterpark.blogspot.com/ and www.kfrckids.org.
