The Community Playground at the Waverly Community House was built in 1990 by a dedicated group of volunteers and donors and has served the community as a place of fun and games for over 20 years. After two decades of use by thousands of children visiting the Comm, it is time to make necessary improvements to this much loved community asset. Though we will be rebuilding the playground, it will still keep the same general structure and excitement of the original Leathers playground. Once again, the Comm is calling upon volunteers and donors to help make these improvements a reality.
