Be Part of What’s Coming Back to Life

A boy sprints across the new playground at Hastings Park.
The slide gleams. The laughter is loud again.
Not long ago, this place sat quiet — wood splintered, paint faded, equipment lovingly worn down from years of play.

Then the community stepped in.
Big Comedy La Porte raised funds.
The La Porte City Park Foundation matched their gift — and added $10,000 more to finish the $60,000 rebuild.
Now the park feels new again. Alive again.

Across town, the Inclusive Orbit Spinner at Fort La Play Porte keeps turning.
Kids of every ability spin together, no one left out.
That one piece of equipment — fully funded by the Foundation — says everything about what we stand for.

This is what generosity looks like here.
It’s the sound of kids returning to a park that almost fell silent... and a community deciding it never would.

If these parks have ever given you a moment — a walk, a game, a smile — now’s the time to give back.

Give today — because every kid deserves a place to play.
