Kids' Cove

Swampscott, Massachusetts is described as a town where in ten years nothing totally positive had happened. That was until a local mother had an idea. The children of Swampscott needed a playground...what if the community got together and put one up? Once the idea was born, it took off. After hours, days and months of brainstorming and planning the big moment arrived. It was September, 1988 and for five grueling days the women, men and children of Swampscott labored together to dig holes, saw, lift, sand and weld every last surface. The community has the memory of an experience that it will never forget.
