Throughout the week, groups of volunteers from Sallie Mae, the University of Delaware College of Health Sciences and Fusion Fitness are helping with the construction of the all-abilities Preston’s Playground, in Newark. The playground will have wheelchair-accessible rubber paving instead of mulch, and equipment including an adaptive merry-go-round, swings and monkey bars. A ribbon cutting ceremony for the playground is planned for August 29.
