Last month, members of the Parks and Rec team and representatives from Essity and from Friends of FDR Park gathered at the Clubhouse to check out the news swings, which have been in use.
“These swings have added a new element of enjoyment to the porch area of our park offices, enabling guests who are here for our outdoor education programs, physical education programs or anyone visiting the park, another opportunity to enjoy the park experience,” said FDR Park Director Justin DiBerardinis. “We are grateful to Essity for believing in FDR Park, being a part of its revival and making this generous donation.”
