GENEVA — Years of fundraising and planning for a new playground at the Jim Dooley Center for Early Learning have come to fruition.
A group of nearly 90 people — parents, Finger Lakes Health employees, Hobart College lacrosse team members, Geneva Rotary Club Interact students, and New Vision Medical Careers Program instructor and students — teamed up Oct. 24 for a community build on the property behind the Geneva General Hospital/Finger Lakes Medical Associates complex.
The volunteers worked in shifts to create a developmentally appropriate and engaging play space for the more than 130 children enrolled at the center. One of the on-site coordinators from Parkitects, the design company for the playground, described the community build as organized and effective, fueled by respectful, helpful and kind volunteers who shared camaraderie and much laughter.
