Playground Photos

In September & October 2005, BOPARC staff and neighborhood volunteers began upgrades of tot lot playgrounds at Wiles Hill. This included installation of new play equipment, painting of sets well used but still in very bood shape, and the addition in two tot lots of ten inches of Ohio River gravel as a safe fall area. The gravel was trucked in from Parkersburg, West Virginia on the Ohio River. This was all made possible by a very generous grant by Morgantown City Council earmarked for playground upgrades at Wiles Hill and Jack Roberts Parks. We thank the city council and the city manager for their encouragement and support.
