About Us:
The Fairland East Playground Fund is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the design, fundraising, and purchase of a new, community play structure at Fairland East Elementary School in Proctorville, Ohio. The Playground Fund is managed by private individuals and is not affiliated with Fairland Local Schools.
Why a new playground?
The current playground, while well-loved, has exceeded its warranty and requires costly annual repairs. The new playground features universal design, incorporates views of the Ohio river, engaging fitness stations, and promotes healthy, cooperative play among children. The new play area provides safe spaces to play for 200+ students at a time. Some key features include:
- gross motor activity areas to run, climb, swing and slide
- musical instruments and all-weather sheet music
- universal play pieces for adaptive play
- established hours for community access on nights, weekends, and in summer
The Playground Committee collaborated with engineers, designers, and professional educators (including a Fulbright Scholar!) to make research-based, sound decisions which ensure that this space will not only entertain students, but also provide opportunities for mental, physical, and social growth.
Our students deserve the best!
