More than 200 volunteers construct playground in 6 hours | Arts & Culture

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - More than 200 volunteers built a playground in Wilmington in just six hours on Friday.

Thanks to the volunteers, Portia Mills Hines Park at the intersection of 10th and Rankin streets has a new look.

Organizers with the non-profit group Kaboom had 25 kids in the neighborhood design their dream park.

The new playground consists of four slides, a rock climbing wall, benches, and many other types of play equipment.

Volunteers say the concrete will have to dry over the weekend; then, the park will open Monday.
