Chief Peta’s playground complete, party Friday
By DANI BLACKBURN
At 6 p.m. Friday a flood of children will burst through paper chains made by their little hands to thank donors and volunteers who completed Chief Peta’s Playground at Enid Justin Park.
Phase Two of the playground was completed this past weekend and it will be celebrated from 6-8 p.m. with a party and ribbon cutting. The celebration will include free popcorn, two food trucks on site, face painting, and lots of fun on the new equipment.
“It feels amazing to have the project completed. It’s the best thing to be out there and here the kids giggling, running and squealing and thanking us for their new playground,” said Sarah Renfro, project coordinator.
