The YMCA of Delaware’s mission is to empower youth, foster healthy living, and promote strong communities. With support from the Lowe’s Hometowns grant, the Bear-Glasgow Y is able to complete safety and accessibility enhancements to the Ninja Obstacle Course at our recently state-licensed Camp Cassey. Work will involve adding elements to the course and installing a shade system to ensure a safe, inclusive experience for all campers.

This Salvation Army Boys & Girls Club has a project that would entail mulching its playground area, adding new picnic tables and a new slide to replace a damaged one, as well as replacing a missing section of its fence to enclose the entire playground.
This project from focuses on playground safety for multiple reasons. The existing playground is located across from a busy street and next to both fire and police department entrances to the Municipal Building. Children must cross a busy street to enter the playground, and police and fire department emergency vehicles continuously come and go from the complex for emergency calls , which adds to the dangerous conditions. In addition, the playground is not ADA compliant or accessible, and it lacks proper fall protection surfacing under the playground equipment.
The City of North Wilkesboro would like to expand the community’s access to outdoor play and recreation through the installation of a new inclusive playground designed for ages two to 12, with additional play elements in the area for children under two to enjoy. This playground would be ADA-compliant with rubberized mulch and rubberized pour-in-place surfaces to create the site’s pad. The entrance to the playground also will have a dedicated resting place for caretakers, zones for parking strollers, and dedicated benches.
