Spent the afternoon at the Grand Opening of the newly refurbished West End Playground at the corner of Brush Avenue and Duwell Street - formerly the site of Oakhurst School. The event was hosted by the City of Johnstown and Project Streetkids International.
There was a lot of neat stuff to keep the kids interested - using the hands on approach.
RJ started off at the bead bracelet booth.
Here you have the booth where the kids get to paint their own planter and rock.

As you can see - the playground is just beautiful - they sure didn't have nice playgrounds like this when I was a kid.

When the flower pot dried - the kids then had their choose of what flower they wanted to plant.
Here is the Girl Scout booth,
RJ made an American flag here.
Here we have the West End Improvement Group booth and their toilet paper toss game.
A little sweet tooth reward is the prize here.
Waiting in line for a temporary tattoo.

The Learning Lamp booth.
They had music and entertainment all day long which included: Painted by Millions, Kulani Dancers, HT High Flyers Jump Rope, Miller Karate and Cooking Demonstrations by Matteo's Herbs Galore. This even was so great - that I hope they make it an annual thing!
What a great job by the city. Congratulations Johnstown. The place is beautiful. Hope the Police will keep an eye on it at night. Do you think they will do something similar at the old Bheam school playground?
