Photos from the Hume Springs Playground Build on Sept. 19th

Thanks to our generous donors and partners, the Hume Springs playground at 100 Dale Street in Arlandria is being completely overhauled to provide a fun, safe play space for children under 5.

On September 19, 2015, more than 80 volunteers came out to prepare flowerbeds & plant Virginia perennials and shrubbery to create a butterfly garden.  They built benches to create a relaxing and inviting park.  Others dug holes and planted 15 new trees.  Still more installed a sign, spread mulch and painted graphics on asphalt areas to stimulate creativity & learning.

Stay tuned for more information on the grand re-opening of the park scheduled later this month.

• Partners:  City of Alexandria Parks & Recreation, Teva Respiratory, Rebuilding Together Alexandria, The Brickman Group, Simpson Development, the Rotary Club of Alexandria, Rosemont Landscaping & Lawncare, the Rotary Club of Carshalton Park-England,  the Hume Springs Neighborhood Association & over 400 generous donors.
