The Kiwanis Community Playground is our gift to the community. Built in 2009, it is located at Tracy Park in Portsmouth, Ohio.
Tracy Park is a beloved community gathering space where people of all ages come to relax and enjoy outdoor activities in the heart of the city.
Check out the YouTube video below to see the photos from the original construction of the playground.
We recently made our playground even better with the addition of ADA playground equipment.
This makes what we do all worthwhile! Elisha Duncan, 12, takes a turn on our new ADA swing. She is the daughter of Kimberly O’Madden, General Manager of FC Daehler Mortuary, a Diamond Donor for our new ADA additions to our Kiwanis Playground in Tracy Park.
Our playground formerly lacked adequate equipment for children with special needs, limiting their ability to participate fully in the park’s offerings. In early 2024, the club raised funds to purchase and install ADA-compliant swings to create a play area that can be used by all children. The Kiwanis Children’s Fund awarded a $12,000 grant to the Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth to support these improvements, and several organizations and individuals in our community also supported this project.
The Kiwanis Club of Portsmouth held a ribbon cutting on Wednesday, May 8, 2024, for our new ADA addition to make it accessible to children with disabilities! Thanks so much to our ADA Playground Committee Chair Misty Simco and our committee members (pictured above from left): Todd Medley, Dan DeLotell, Bill Ogg, Misty Simco, Kiwanis President Jamie Colley, Sharon Carver, and KC Rase. Autumn Dowdy is not pictured.
Special thanks to the following donors who made this playground addition possible:
