Michigan DNR Partnership

We partnered with Michigan’s Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to make some amazing playgrounds in Michigan. Thanks to Chief Ron Olson, Mary and Vicki, Matt and his great crew at the Grand Haven State Park for a fantastic playground project in Grand Haven. This park has well over a million visitors each year and the Michigan DNR made sure that the children have a great new playground to play on!

We also made a playground at the Holly Recreation area and Island Lake State Park – all thanks to the Michigan DNR. Thank you so much to all the amazing volunteers that made these playgrounds possible.
