Carpentry Students Help Restore Playscape at

Blish Park in Marlborough

In an example of instilling an interest in volunteerism, twenty two sophomores and juniors from Cheney Tech Carpentry took two days off from their regular production jobs to help volunteers renovate and expand a playscape at Blish Park in Marlborough, CT.  Some students dug holes for fence posts. Others cut, predrilled, and assembled new sections of decking. Still others installed new composite decking over the original decking that was deteriorating. Everyone got along great and the students hope they get  another opportunity to volunteer.
