Hundreds of volunteers pitched in to build a new
playground for Kroeger Park on Aug. 8, 2009. The project was a
partnership between Boise Parks & Recreation, KaBOOM! and
Albertsons/Sav-on Pharmacy.
The new playspace features a slide, swings, climbing structure
and comfortable seating for parents.
KaBOOM! is national organization seeking to provide great places
to play within walking distance of every child in America.
Among the people working on the project were volunteers from
Albertsons/Sav-on Pharmacy, the Southeast Neighborhood Association,
and others from the Kroeger Park area and surrounding
community.
Kroeger Park is a half-acre mini park located in a residential
area off Broadway in Southeast Boise. The park features shady trees
and picnic tables.
Land for the park was donated to the City of Boise in August
1913 by local residents Theodore and Pauline Kroeger. The Kroegers
said they donated the property in order to "better beautify the
neighborhood in which we live and to promote its growth and
development."
