The Rotary Club of Perryville held a work day in mid-December for the Lucas and Friends Backyard Adventure playground project, which will be part of Robert J. Miget Memorial Park on French Lane.
In early December, the concrete pad for the playground was poured and much of the equipment arrived a few days later.
The Rotary club helped with the purchase of an abacus for the playground. The club received a matching grant totaling $3,000.
The club received $1,500 in local contributions while the remaining $1,500 was received through the Rotary district, which is funded through Rotarian contributions worldwide.
On Dec. 12, Volunteers assisted Wayne Meyer of D & K Masonry with installing rock panels for a retaining wall around the playground.
