A couple dozen volunteers showed up at the new South Union Playground yesterday armed with shovels and rakes to help spread a mountain of mulch around the playground equipment. Volunteers included scouts from Cub Scout Troop 921, Southborough Rotary members, kids getting in their community service hours, and other residents.
Spreading mulch was the last big task that needed to be finished up before the playground opens. Recreation Director Doreen Ferguson said she just needs to hang the swings and finish up a few other odds and ends and then it will be ready for use. She said she hopes to hold an opening ceremony in the next couple of weeks.
I stopped by on Sunday to take some photos of all the hard work. See for yourself (click an image to enlarge).
