EDWARDSVILLE - Lewis and Clark Community College President Ken Trzaska joined Edwardsville Mayor Art Risavy, Edwardsville City Council members and members of the Edwardsville Community Foundation on Tuesday, Aug. 4, for the official opening of the new all-abilities playground located on the grounds of LC's N.O. Nelson Campus.
The gated playground was made possible through a $600,000 contribution from the David Kriege family, which owned and operated Kriege Hardware in Edwardsville for nearly a century.
The Edwardsville Community Foundation was entrusted with using the donation to enhance the quality of life through recreation, preservation and beautification of the city of Edwardsville.
Henry Dunn, nephew of Edwardsville Alderman SJ Morrison, was on hand to participate in the event and enjoy himself on the playground equipment. Dunn is considered an inspiration for the project.
Although work on the project will continue with the addition of signage and landscaping, the playground is open to the public from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
