The children scampering up and down the wooden play structure at Donnelly Park likely haven’t given much thought, if at all, to how the park came into being, but there are plenty of Turlock residents who remember four days of hard labor that gave rise to the Children’s Play Park. Now all those people who lugged the lumber, nailed together the bridge, tightened the screws on the slide, and sanded down any rough spots will have a chance to reminisce and share their memories of how a community came together to bring some fun to Turlock’s young citizens. Built by volunteers and paid for with private donations, the Children’s Play Park marks 18 years as part of the Donnelly Park landscape and some of the original organizers are holding a mini reunion for all those who took part in the community effort.
