The Friends of Tots Park are grateful to Rajay Bagaria for being the force behind the project. Kathleen Foley, Eugenie Milroy, Beth Edelson, Robbi Smith, Megan Philippi and Eileen Caulfield fundraised and worked, since 2008, to bring this project to fruition. The many generous donors included Mike and Karen Speller, Cold Spring Lions Club and Ken Kearney of Tern Construction. In addition, the Village of Cold Spring and the Highway Department helped tremendously with this project, Mary Saari, Seth Gallagher, Ed Trimble, Charlie, Russ and Robert in particular.
The park is closed until Monday, July 18, to give the concrete under the structure a chance to dry.
