Picnic In the Park

The Problem

The picnic benches at the park are in dire condition and broken beyond repair. Families do not have a place to sit, visit, or picnic while their children play at the park.

Our Plan

I would like to replace all the boards with new boards and hardware and paint them to create a safe, comfortable place for families to picnic and enjoy quality time watching their children play.
