Fundraiser To Benefit Inclusive Playground In Agoura Hills

AGOURA HILLS, CA — Your weekend treat can mean a little bit more this weekend when you stop by The Stand in Westlake Village.

From 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday, The Stand will donate 20 percent of each purchase to help build the Morrison Park Playground Project, which aims to build an inclusive playground at Morrison Park in Agoura Hills.

Attendees can participate by showing the fundraiser's flyer at checkout, or entering the coupon code ROTARYCLUBWLV on The Stand's app. The Stand is located at 966 Westlake Blvd.

The playground revamped Morrison Park playground would include equipment for children of all abilities to play together, according to the Morrison Park Playground Project's website. As it stands, Morrison Park is not designed to work for children with disabilities, according to the project.

"Every child deserves to play! Playgrounds are so important for community connection and child development," the Morrison Park Playground Project said on its website.

The Rotary Club of Westlake Village, which is working in conjunction with the City of Agoura Hills, will need to raise $500,000 dollars to make the playground a reality. This will come from a mix of non-profit and government grants and fundraising efforts. The group has already raised $31,162, according to its website.

The Morrison Park Playground Project will also host a benefit concert on Sept 30. For more information, visit the project's website.
