Opinion: Potsdam family expresses thanks to those who helped create 'Kay's Play Space' in Ives Park

Posted

Kay’s Play Space has become a reality, and we have so many people to thank. First is the Village of Potsdam Board for accepting the gift. Jim Corbett and the Village crews dug the trenches for the posts, scraped away the dirt, installed the benches and signs, and added a section of sidewalk.

Shawn Spellicy, Mike Ward, Nick Sheehan, Matt Randall, and Tim Randall gave their time, equipment, and materials for the construction of the mound.

The Gerrish brothers at Potsdam Stonescaping installed the stone steps, Michael Greer constructed the ramp, Reneé Holsen designed the sign, and James Gonzalez of Farmhouse Forge did the metal work. Willow Tree Landscaping, Potsdam Agway, Evans and White ACE Hardware, Bicknell Building Supply, Tractor Supply, Votra’s Sawmill, and Jeffords Steel donated or discounted materials needed.

And we thank the countless friends and passersby who came by to lend a hand to plant, spread mulch, water, assemble, advise, and encourage.

We couldn’t be happier with how it all came together and we love walking by and seeing the space being enjoyed.

The Rivezzi and Trithart families
