Up and ready in just one day

Decatur Daily Democrat:

The effort to place new playground equipment in Legion Park — spurred by a group of women calling themselves Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) — was "quite successful" this week, Parks and Recreation Director Steve Krull said at Tuesday night's meeting of Decatur City Council.

The women raised some $50,000 to purchase the equipment, then they were joined by 40 to 50 volunteers on Monday to erect the equipment. GameTime, the company from which the equipment was purchased, sent several advisors to the park on Monday to lend technical expertise.

"Actually, it went a lot better than I had anticipated," Krull saiid. "It went wonderful, actually; very smooth." The equipment is now ready for use.
