Scott's Place Wellington FL Community Build

Today was the last day of the Wellington FL community build for Scott's Place, which will be the newest park in Wellington FL. However unlike other Wellington Parks Scott's Place is going to be a barrier-free playground for children of every ability.

Scott's Place in Wellington FL was made possible by an extremely generous donation of $250,000 by Del & Barbara Williamson. Their donation was in honor of their son Scott, who they lost to cerebral palsy. Both Del & Barbara Williamson participated in the build of Scott's Place and are some of the nicest people you will ever meet.

The day started out raining, but it ended with sunshine.

It was such a rewarding experience for my family and I'm so happy we got to be part of it.

I worked the "parts counter" with my son, Aidan, assisting me. Aidan was also my camera man.

My good friend, Ed DeLaVega, is one of the many people from the Village of Wellington overseeing this incredible build and he said it should be completed by mid-February 2010.

Great food and drinks were donated for all the volunteers by several local businesses: Tree's Wings, Earl of Sandwich, Tijuana Flats, Panera, Duffy's, Domino's and Publix.

You can judge a community by the generosity of the citizens in making sure that the little ones have places too.

We were involved in the building of Tiger Shark Cove here in Wellington, almost 10 years ago! Its a wonderful feeling when a community gets together for the betterment of that community.

This is how it should be. Generous hearts donating money and time. Not a government job with work performed by the lowest bidder. Everyone will be proud of this place for years to come. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, Michelle - it turned out just perfect!  It must have been a very touching, rewarding and fulfilling day filled with all kinds of emotions.  You and your family have done such a beautiful thing and that playground will be a reminder for years to come of a community's generosity and sincere caring!

WOW!  The Wellington community is one in a million, especially when parents like you and Josh involve their children in a project like this one.  Raising a child in this kind of environment not only makes a better future for all, but when they bring their children to Scott's Place to play, that they can say with pride - "I helped build that", when I was a boy. 

People like you is what makes Wellington Community #1 to raise a family.  Thank you!
