The 2025 LGA summer season is at a close. The swim bobbers have been removed and the LGA beach and park dedication signs are in storage for the winter. The American flag has been taken down and is in storage for the winter.
The DeAngelis family installed a memorial bench in honor of our long time resident and friend, Dave DeAngelis. Here is a picture of the bench. As Dave always said, “Just sit and relax!”
The old play structure with the two small slides and steering wheels has been dismantled and taken to the transfer station. It was in place for over 30 years and in serious need of updating/repair.
We purchased a gently used, LIFETIME swing set from some folks in Bedford, NH on Craigslist. We partially disassembled it and transported it from Bedford to Dunbarton and with the help of some Association members, now have it installed in the park. It looks good as new.
The swing set also came with an added bonus, a see-saw airplane! It has room for six younger children, has a steering wheel that spins the propeller, dials and gauges on the dashboard and a diagram of an airplane explaining what all the parts are on the plane.
The swing set new, including the plane would cost around $4,000. We purchased it for $700 plus the cost of the repairs and paint and some bolts and hardware. The total cost of the project was around $850. Thanks to all who helped on the project. Here are some pictures!
