Nampa Optimist Club

Playgrounds

Optimist International - Friend of Youth

The playgrounds are a great way to help the youth of Nampa. The City of Nampa Idaho asked us to help with the construction of the playground equipment. Since we were new and had very little money but relatively strong backs, we decided to help. Here are some of the results of our efforts.

Skateboard Park

     The skateboard park idea was initialized by the kids who like to skateboard. They were being told not to ride their skateboards just about everywhere.
     A couple of them started thinking they needed their own place to ride. These kids started a campaign to build a park. They didn't know who would provide the land, money or equipment. They just kept asking until they found someone.
     Of course, they found the City of Nampa Idaho was willing to help and even provided some land. Many other people and companies helped also.
     The Nampa Optimist Club will helped with the sprinkler system.
