The children at Wetumpka Elementary School are in a position to combine recreation with a workout thanks to a new playground on site that is bigger, safer and focused more on physical activity.
From the time the equipment pieces were delivered to the completion of the structure, school staff and local volunteers assembled the structure in three days.
