Greene County Awarded $250,000 grant for inclusive playground
The Greene County Board of Commissioners is proud to share that Greene County has been awarded a $250,000 grant from Trillium Health Resources to build a new inclusive playground at the Greene County Recreation Complex.
This grant comes through Trillium’s Play Together Accessible Playground program, which helps communities across North Carolina create spaces where children of all abilities can play together.
“This is an investment in our families, our future, and our values,” said Board Chairman Bennie Heath. “We are grateful to Trillium for supporting our vision to make Greene County more inclusive and welcoming for everyone.”
Greene County continues to actively seek grant funding to improve public spaces and bring long-term value to the community. The new playground may include features like rubberized surfaces, sensory-friendly equipment, full-support swings, Liberty Swings, and doublewide ramps.
Planning and design will begin soon. More updates will be shared as the project moves forward.
