Former Plymouth Playground Installed in Africa

10:00 AM | Saturday, March 11, 2023

A playground from Shenandoah Park in Plymouth is now in use in Zambia.

The city of Plymouth shared video of the playground in use this week.

“It’s all because of your hard work that we can build playgrounds like this one from Shenandoah Park in Plymouth, Minnesota,” said Dan Liesik from Kids Around the World in the video clip. 

Check out this video from Kids Around the World ⤵️

Following a recent upgrade of the playground at Shenandoah Park, the former equipment was refurbished & sent to be rebuilt in Zambia. The donation was a collaboration between the City of Plymouth & the nonprofit @KATWorg. pic.twitter.com/1twHCG0zgD

The Shenandoah Park playground was replaced in the summer of 2022.

Kids Around the World partners with entities to move playgrounds that still have life in them to places all around the globe. Learn more here.
