Volunteers are needed for the Never Say Never Playground being built June 2nd – June 8th at Yadon Park here in Delavan.
The Never Say Never Playland will be an approximately 13,000 square foot playground featuring activities and equipment that will be accessible to children and adults of all physical abilities. Fully fenced and constructed with an engineered cushioned play surface, the playground will feature components designed for children of varying abilities to play together. Let’s build Walworth County’s first fully accessible playground! They have over 4,000 volunteer shifts available, so please sign up for as many as you can and share this opportunity with your friends, family, neighbors, and colleagues. Volunteers of all skill levels are welcome!
If you’re comfortable using a circular saw and drill, consider signing up for “Skilled Labor” positions. If you prefer tasks like sanding, shoveling, and assisting with carpentry or working in the art tent, our “Unskilled Labor” roles are perfect for you. If you think it’s best to stay away from tools, you can still help by signing up as a runner or in food service. Every day, volunteers will receive the following: All Day: Water. Light Breakfast (7:00-8:00): Coffee, donuts, muffins, and granola bars. Morning Snacks. Lunch (12:00-12:30). Afternoon Snacks. Dinner (5:00-5:30).
