Woodscreek Playground Volunteers Recognition

Back in 1993, a dedicated group of volunteers came together to form ‘Operation Playground’ in order to construct Woodscreek Playground over the period of several days. The Crystal Lake Park District would like to invite the Operation Playground volunteers back for a Volunteer Recognition Picnic and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony at the newly renovated Crystal Castle Playground and Splash Pad at Woodscreek Park. Volunteers will get to view the legacy of the playground they established and also see the happy faces of the next generation enjoying the new Crystal Castle and Splash Pad. Operation Playground volunteers and their families are encouraged to attend, bring your photos/ scrapbooks to share and enjoy hot dogs, burgers, chips, dessert and beverage provided by the Crystal Lake Park Foundation. For more information contact Ann Viger, (815) 459-0680, ext. 1205, aviger@crystallakeparks.org

Dates: Monday, July 13

Time: 6:30-8 pm

Location: Woodscreek Park, 1416 Willow Tree Drive, Crystal Lake

Welding is an ideal profession for those who love to work with their hands, have an eye for detail and the ability to concentrate. Welders work in a variety of environments, both indoors and out, using heat to melt and fuse metal for a common bond.
