From Molly Ryan, CEO of Friends of Underwood Hills Park;
"Hello all, I have good news! 

1. Atlanta Parks Dept will pay for the equipment.  They went back and forth, but now have approved the cost of the equipment repair in total.  Much lobbying persuaded APD.
2. Equipment delivery Friday, Feb. 7.  The manufacturer will deliver the equipment to the park on Friday.  It will sit at the park until installed. 
3. Equipment installation next week.  While the installers have not yet confirmed the date/time, they will install the pieces either 2/10, 2/11, or 2/12.  Ken said he will let me know as the date approaches. 
   
   

I am delighted that this all worked out.  We had a plan to buy more play equipment with the funds in our Park Pride account. We had put our plans on hold until we heard that APD will pay for the repairs.  An ideal outcome.  We will again pursue the purchase/approval/design of the new equipment. "
​
Thank you Molly for the many calls and persuasion you devoted to this.
