Article in NeighborsGo newspaper

Article in the local NeighborsGo newspaper, July 12, 2008:

This blog was created to keep the public informed of the progress being made on the development of the all-inclusive playground that will be built on the Wilson, Carmel, Ruff tracts in Flower Mound. We envision a wooden fort-like playground that is all-inclusive, handicapped accessible and includes educational stations throughout the playground to teach children about nature, birds, animals, recycling, and their environment. Research shows that children need to spend more time in nature and playing outdoors so I also include information on these issues as I run across them.
