At long last our new playground at Cantrall Buckley Park is complete! Now the largest of Jackson County’s playgrounds, it was funded entirely through the contributions of local citizens, businesses, and private foundations. Jackson County Parks donated the labor to erect the new Playcraft structures, which were designed by local kids and their moms.
We will dedicate the playground on Saturday, June 4 at 10:00 a.m. We will also honor those citizens (many from Jacksonville) who helped save the park from closure twenty years ago. The park was inaugurated in 1968; we’ll cover a little history as well.
We hope you’ll join us for a lovely morning on the banks of the Applegate River.
