There is a new playground available at the Prairie Ridge Campground on the east side of Jefferson County Park. A donation from Judy Buttery in memory of her husband Dan made this playground project possible.

This gift to the community has features for children of all ages and provides a place for families to make memories in the park for years to come.

Thank you, Judy.
