New Playground Installed at Mill Creek Lake Park

18

County of Amherst issued the following announcement on Sept. 23

Amherst County Public Works Department has recently installed new equipment at Mill Creek Lake Park. The playground is a Registered National Demonstration Site through PlayCore and includes a sign with a scannable QR code visitors can use to provide feedback. This research will help Amherst determine what features citizens would like to see at other playgrounds and provide the manufacturer with data about what users would like to see in future designs. This project is part of an ongoing effort to improve Mill Creek Lake Park and provide activities for all ages.

PlayCore believes play and recreation improve the quality of life for communities and are essential for society to be healthy and happy. Play and creation transform lives and builds healthy communities. The National Demonstration Site Network is led by PlayCore's Center for Outreach, Research, and Education (CORE). It plays a vital role in raising national awareness for healthy communities and helping local communities share CORE's positive impact on community wellness.
