Just in time for summer Kids Kingdom open for playtime Cindy Aguirre-Herrera
(Seguin) – Summer in Seguin just got even sweeter, thanks to the official opening of the city’s brand-new Kids Kingdom Playground in Max Starcke Park. Kids got to try out the playscape over the Memorial Day weekend. The playscape opened one month earlier than anticipated. The playscape was partly funded by Niagara Cares, the philanthropy of Niagara Bottling, LLC, through its Perk Your Park program. Since 2016, Niagara has funded the National Recreation and Park Association’s (NRPA) Perk Your Park program, an effort to revitalize parks and outdoor community spaces across the United States. Last week’s ribbon cutting was a communitywide celebration as it took the community to win the online contest for Niagara funding. Thanks to the community’s overwhelming support during a 6-week public Outreach campaign, the city received a $75,000 grant from Niagara Cares to assist with rebuilding the Kids Kingdom Playscape. That’s after the original Kids Kingdom was removed from the park last spring due to safety issues. Sharing fun facts about this newest addition to the current park’s system was Seguin Mayor Donna Dodgen. Playtime, pg. 2
