The official grand opening of the Saint Andrews Community Playground was held on Saturday, May 31.  The play structure was rebuilt over 5 days solely by community volunteers at a cost of more than $200 000. Originally  designed with input from children more than 20 years ago, the playground upgrades included making it accessible for all children to play alongside their peers.  Superintendent Zoe Watson, MLA Curtis Malloch and Saint Andrews Mayor Stan Choptiany spoke at the event which included a Shriners parade and BBQ. All volunteers and donors were personally invited to celebrate the accomplishment and relish in the children playing on something created  by their tools, hands and money.
