Preston’s H.O.P.E. in Beachwood to be temporarily closed September 2 for resurfacing; donations being collected to pay for the work

(Plain Dealer)(Ed: We will miss this popular  Chol Hamoed Sukkos destination this year. Click here if you would like to make a donation.)

Preston’s H.O.P.E., the fully accessible playground located on the grounds of the Mandel Jewish Community Center, will be temporarily closed from Sept. 2 until about Oct. 15 while a new surface in play areas is installed.

Removed will be the spongy, poured-in-place rubber surface that was laid at the time the playground opened in 2006. The eight year-old surface has ripped and fallen away in several areas, and will be replaced with Playground Grass Ultra, a safe, child-friendly synthetic turf manufactured by ForeverLawn.
