Saturday wasn’t the sunniest, but the actions of Kaboom! and volunteers definitely made the Woodbridge neighborhood a little brighter.

More than 280 volunteers descended on a lot on Canfield Street at the Woodbridge Community Youth Center to put together a playground and urban garden in just one day – six hours, in fact.

To make that happen, they mixed 20,000 pounds of concrete, shoveled mulch, installed a fence surrounding the playground, painted art work and assembled a new playground structure in just six hours as part of the one-day build.

The new playground is exclusively designed from drawings by children in the community, and serves 4,500 students.

As an added bonus, at the ribbon cutting, Delta Airlines surprised attendees with a check to the Woodbridge Community Youth Center for $10,000, which will assist the organization with long-term maintenance of the playground and support the programs it provides.
