“...Our AfterSchool Program and our Summer Day Camp use the playground, as well as local Day Cares, Pre-School Programs and Day Camps from the local schools... We believe that the upgrade would be a benefit to the community, as well as the participants of the playground and their families.”

“... Surrounded by a library, ball fields, swimming pool, community center, schools and businesses, Big Howe receives considerable use... It is my fervent hope that it will receive a thorough renovation within the near future.”

“The playground equipment receives an unusual amount of use because it is uniquely situated near three playfields that are in constant use throughout the year. Parents take their young children to the site while their older children are playing organized baseball or soccer on the playfields.”
