Todd Grove Rocket ship gets support
The rocket ship at Todd Grove Park awaits visitors earlier this year. With donations from the community for a new slide, the ship could reopen this summer.

Now at age 41 I still have fond memories of the adventures in outer space we had in that rocket; shooting down aliens and meteors and the occasional Darth Vader. And the strange planets we visited? Wow, amazing!
My 6 year old daughter always wants to play on that structure when we're at the park. I tell her stories of when her dad and uncle (my little brother) used to play for hours on and around that rocket. I love to create memories for our daughter and am very glad that soon we'll be creating some that we'll have in common despite the years between them. I hope to one day watch my grandchildren climb the latter and blast off into space! Thanks to everyone who is making this icon of our community a new possibility. |

I used to play on this when I was a kid, I'm glad someone is taking the time to fix it up a new generation.
