Contributors get signage and other recognition for their pledge.
Muri Kersanac, the city's recreation director, said she hoped civic organizations or wealthy philanthropists would be willing to make a donation at the backyard level, but said smaller contributors could also make a difference by purchasing personalized stepping stones to pave the way into the park. The city is contributing to the project by building the park's infrastructure, leaving only the playground equipment to be financed. The city has since taken over the project. Assistant City Manager Jill Scroggs-Silverboard said the entire sports complex should begin construction by early December. She said the city is only awaiting the proceeds of the recently approved bond to pay for the project.
