FOND DU LAC — At a ribbon cutting Tuesday evening, PTO president Vicki Neumann said the new playground will allow kids in and out of school to stay active through an obstacle course.

“We noticed a lot of the playground structures have platforms that kids can sit on,” Neumann said. “And we didn't want that. We wanted something that they were gonna run and play on.”

Neumann said in 2020, the principal approached the PTO asking them to look into creating new playground. The existing playground was growing old and needed repairs.

The new playground cost an estimated $80,000, and Neumann said more improvements are in the works, including a half mile walking trail around the park.
