Project Overview:
The Chatham Rotary Club has raised $13,138 through the Club, District and Community Grants to improve the Harris Field Playground in Chatham VA. Harris Field is a high use outdoor sports complex that includes two little league baseball fields, a walking trail, pickle ball courts, bathrooms, concessions, paved parking and the playground. The playground does not currently have swing sets. These monies will allow for matching swing sets to be purchased and installed. Of particular note is that they will include two swings for special needs children. Additionally, the playground will be cleaned and mulch refreshed. Work will be completed in time for families to enjoy starting in the Spring of 2026. (Images are artist renderings)
Impact Statement:
Many people use the Harris Field and the upgrades and new equipment will benefit adults and children alike. Parents and caregivers of special needs children will feel safer with swings designed for them.
