Thank you for choosing to support the expansion of play in Maine with the Grace Park Community Playground revitalization and expansion project. Read below for our project summary. For specific sponsorship opportunities, please see our Sponsorship form here:<a style="text-decoration-color:currentcolor;user-select:auto;color:green;box-sizing:inherit"> Grace Park Sponsorship.</a> We have a $20,000 matching grant and all donations and sponsorship dollars count for double until that $20,000 is met. Thank you and Stay Playful! <img width="112" src="https://res.cloudinary.com/hxn9dbuhd/image/upload/v1731513073/kxblyuhbm76olppckagw.png" style="display:block;vertical-align:top;margin:5px auto;max-width:calc(100% - 10px);text-align:center;position:relative;cursor:pointer;padding:0px 1px;user-select:none;box-sizing:inherit" />Grace Park Revitalization and ExpansionProject Summary Vision and Community Alignment: The Grace Park Revitalization and Expansion project is a community-funded playground and play space improvement project located at Grace Episcopal Church, 1100 Washington Street, Bath, ME 04530. Within this project, Bath at Play aims to revitalize and expand the current play structure and play zone by reintroducing this vital amenity to the neighborhood, improving community access to the playground, and developing new play options within the current play space at Grace Episcopal Church. The City of Bath currently has only one community playground. The addition of play spaces that are available year-round and are not attached to or managed by a school or daycare are critical for the children, families and caregivers that live in and/or visit the City of Bath. Play spaces help to combat childhood obesity by promoting physical activity, promote early childhood literacy, and encourage bonding within the community that spans both age and socioeconomic status.Project Scope: The current playground at Grace Episcopal Church consists of a ~15-year-old CedarWorks wooden residential playset that includes 3 swings, a tire swing, one main structure and a plastic slide. This legacy structure is effectively at end-of-life and has no replacement parts available per the vendor. A toddler/infant swing was recently removed after it broke, and the base of the structure is showing significant signs of deterioration and rot. The current play zone is roughly 28 feet deep by 35 feet wide. A new, larger CedarWorks residential play structure will be installed that includes 3 main structures inter-connected with bridges, 3 slides, 4 swings, a tire-swing, a fireman’s pole, and climbing walls. A children’s picnic bench and sandbox are also integrated into the base of two of the main structures. Site preparation will include as-needed leveling, renewed playground woodchips, perimeter fencing, and a forestry management plan.In addition to this new play structure, one to three musical instruments and natural play elements are slated to go into an expanded play zone which will provide an additional nearly 4000 square feet of wooded play space. A new ~200-foot singletrack story trail that will feature a rotating selection of books from exclusively Maine authors will provide a direct connection from Washington Street to the rear side of the play zone while also promoting literacy and family time in a natural setting. Visitor amenities will be added including bench seating areas, a picnic table and a trash can. Additional signage on Washington Street will promote play space visibility to the community.Fundraising and Project Timeline: Bath at Play is taking a two-phase approach to fundraising and play element installation. Phase 1 will include fundraising and installation for the new play structure, bench seating, picnic tables, and initial site preparation for the expanded play zone and story trail. Phase 2 will include funding and installation of the outdoor musical instruments, the story trail story frames, and an embankment slide on the exposed granite ledge.The initial expected total project budget is $60,000. The Phase 1 fundraising goal is $40,000 and the Phase 2 fundraising goal is $20,000. A $20,000 matching grant has been secured for this project and $3,000 has been raised. Funding sources will come from community contributions and/or local grants. Our goal is to have Phase 1 installation and fundraising complete by late Q2 2025 and Phase 2 complete by Q2 2026.About Bath at Play: Our mission is to empower Maine communities by expanding dynamic and inclusive play by funding, establishing, maintaining privately funded community play spaces for Maine’s current and future generations.
