Over the past several years, members of the Seventh Ward Citizens' Coalition conducted numerous fundraising activities to acquire money to create the Ipe Kids World Playground on East Midlothian Boulevard.

A recent visit to the playground found it to be in need of simple, but much needed maintenance.  This photo depicts one of many areas on the playground where the safety mulch has been worn away to reveal the liner below.  With the mulch removed, the exposed dirt is now able to support the growth of weeds and grass.

The citizens of the seventh ward deserve to have a well maintained playground.  Let's see to it that this problem is fixed ASAP.
