CENTERVILLE -- There's a brand new place for children to play in Centerville.We were there for the official grand opening ceremony of the Mark Kreusch Nature Playce.The new playground area is an all natural playground, and an official part of the Centerville-Washington Park District.It was funded by a grant from the Mark Andrew Kreusch Memorial Fund, which was founded to honor the 4 year old boy who was killed in a tragic boating accident.His mother said, "It's a great place for all ages and it's out in nature, getting kids out of the house and away from the computer screen and tv, and we just want kids to have fun, so it will keep Mark's spirit alive through other children and that's our goal."All parts of the play area were built out of natural materials including climbing logs, a digging pit and a fort building area.
