Sale price $10 each or 2 for $15.  Any additional money will only ADD TO the equipment already purchased; a new surface and new fence are next to add to improvements and will make our playground better and safer for our children and the children to come.  Believe it or not...ou      r playground is an "evangelism tool" for people driving down Spring Cypress Rd.  Families are drawn to churchs that put their children first and the outward indication of that is the attractive and safe child's playground!
