The City of Galesburg has announced that a new playground will be coming to H.T. Custer Park and Lancaster Park thanks to funding assistance received from GameTime.
GameTime is a leading manufacturer of commercial playgrounds, custom play spaces, and outdoor fitness equipment.
The assistance is through a program developed by the Illinois Parks and Recreation Association.
H.T. Custer Park and Lancaster Park also received the 2022 and 2023 OSLAD grants.
The funding from GameTime and the OSLAD grants are complementary, which enables the City of Galesburg to utilize both for the park renovation projects.
When the projects are completed, the spaces will be designated as a National Demonstration Site by PlayCore.
PlayCore combines educational programming with recreation products and services to create tailored environments that match the unique needs of each community served.
National Demonstration Sites are part of a nationwide research project to analyze data about the park and its long-term impact on the local community.
