Let's Play!
We've done it! After three years of fundraising from the popular Tawasentha Mud Mania mud runs, we’re ready to go!
On Tuesday, May 7th, Supervisor Ken Runion and the Guilderland Town Board approved matching funding for Phase I of the Tawasentha Park children’s playground! Many thanks to the Town Board and the community for supporting this project and helping us reach our goal to make Phase I of the playground a reality.
We're Not Done Yet!
Over the summer, we will be in the planning stages of the playground renovation. Since the play space will be in use during the summer months, we will begin construction in the early fall. But our commitment to completely upgrade the playground will continue. With Phase II, we hope to upgrade the 2 - 5 year old play space and add additional equipment to the playground.
So if you haven’t signed up for Tawasentha Mud Mania 3 (Saturday, June 15th), please consider bringing the whole family for this fun, family-friendly obstacle course/mud run. Proceeds from the races will be used for further improvements to the playground.
Not interested in running? We still need volunteers (you’ll get a great t-shirt!). Go to www.guilderlandrec.com to sign up or call us at 456-3150 to volunteer and/or sponsor the event.
Once again, thanks for your support!

Director of Parks & Recreation, Town of Guilderland
