Harmony Playground in Effingham is open!

The accessible-to-all playground is located along Maple Street at Evergreen Hollow Park just north of the tennis courts along Maple Street, east across from the Workman Sports and Wellness Complex.

Harmony Playground Spokesman Aaron Meyers said work is still being completed on fencing, a pavilion and restroom facilities, but said the playground itself is open. Parking blocks are in place to help with motorists using the playground.

Harmony Playground is a volunteer effort in conjunction with the Effingham Park District. Funds were privately raised. The playground is not only accessible to all children, but to all adults who want an opportunity to interact with their kids in a playground setting despite any disabilities the adults might have. Once the restrooms are completed, they will have changing facilities for both children and adults.

Meyers said once the restrooms and the pavilion are completed, a formal ribbon-cutting ceremony will take place.
