A new playground is coming to Willmar in the summer of 2017. This is a community effort from the planning to the construction. The build dates are May 16-25. A hard working group of volunteers is working right now to plan the playground and raise the money to build it, and organize our build. Willmar’s Destination Playground at Robbins Island is a community build project.

Check out the photos of the progress made this week on the two patios!
Last night, we received news that the new picket shipment is delayed until next week due to shipping backlog after the hurricanes. We'll keep you posted via Facebook. Installation will be completed as soon as the shipment arrives.

We are planning to shut down Willmar’s Destination Playground for some routine maintenance from September 19-22.
We will be:
-installing solar accent lighting
-installing bird netting in the rooftops of the structures
-installing the last engraved pickets and making a few picket adjustments
-working on the new patios on the south edge of the playground
-other misc. upkeep items so the playground can be well maintained in the fall and winter season
We apologize for any inconvenience. We’ll keep you updated with photos after the work is completed.
