The McLean Central Park Playground Team (MCPT), a grassroots group of local moms, decided to help attract fundraising support through the Park Foundation to make the renovated playground a reality. Fairfax County Park Foundation (FCPF) partnered with FCPA and MCPT to accept gifts for the playground renovation campaign at the popular and much-loved McLean Central Park, located at 1468 Dolley Madison Boulevard in Mclean, Virginia!
The current playgrounds are dated and in need of many upgrades and improvements as well as an expansion to better suit families who enjoy this park.
The new centrally located playground caters to multi-age children as well as children with special needs! Your contribution for this exciting project continue to bring joy to many neighbors and visitors by helping to make the following features possible.
- Larger Footprint allows for a combined totlot and school age play areas.
- More Seating throughout the play areas will expand the limited seating.
- Fenced-in Totlot
- Poured-in-place Rubberized surfacing - similar to Clemyjontri Park – replaces mulch in this naturally damp area.
- New play Features and sensory play equipment including an adaptive tandem swing will replace outdated play equipment.
FCPA identified 40% funds of the total budgeted cost of $675,041 for the playground and totlot. This FCPF/MCPT fundraising campaign raised more than $400,000 to provide funds needed to design and build this playground.
We appreciate these Sponsors!
