In the heart of Western Wisconsin’s Driftless region, the city of Viroqua is preparing to say goodbye to their beloved Eckhart Park Playground. While long a source of community pride (especially because it was the product of a community-wide building effort) it’s past time for a more modern playground. Once again, though, Viroquans are teaming up to do it themselves, and you’re welcome to join them on the final day of their building blitz.
Planning is underway to construct a new playground at Eckhart Park.  There will be two six-hour shifts per day for six consecutive days.  Shift one is from 7:30am-12:30pm.  Shift two is from 12:30pm-6:00pm.  At least 40 people per shift are needed.  Volunteers 14 and up with all skill levels are encouraged to help.  Anyone who signs up will be provided with meals and the tools for construction.  Volunteer signups are being managed by the Viroqua Lions Club and are done electronically at the following link https://volunteersignup.org/PHYMH
