On Saturday, November 8, Jennifer Salyer of Barge Design Solutions Inc. presented Friends of Warriors’ Path State Park a $10,000 grant check. This award from Barge Community Fund is to be used for Darrell’s Dream Boundless Playground. Mary Steadman, Boundless Playground Chair, applied for a $5,000 grant with Barge, and Barge liked the project so much they decided to double the grant!

Friends of Warriors’ appreciates the great support from Barge Design Solutions, Inc., not only with this grant and working at the Fall Day of Caring but also for supporting our October 2025 annual golf tournament.  

Fun fact – Jennifer was the design/landscape architect who originally worked on the Boundless Playground 2005-2007.

We had approximately 125 volunteers show up to help clean the Boundless Playground on Saturday, November 8. There was a big storm the night before, and it left a lot of extra work to be done! Everyone did an amazing job! Below are links to pictures taken and WJHL report. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1sIctK3DvWmlrDHDwjx63ZVfVwkN0yn0t?usp=share_link
