School may be starting but there's still plenty of time to get outside and enjoy the sun and outdoor play this summer! We are proud to have partnered with the Centerville-Washington Park District on a brand new sprayground at Activity Center Park which opened earlier this summer! We know being active helps kids of all ages and abilities reach their optimal health, and that busy parents appreciate a spot in the shade with a perfect view of the whole play space. This beautifully refreshed sprayground was designed with what matters most to families in mind. We hope families throughout our community enjoy the sprayground for years to come!
