Vineyard Gardens staff have been working throughout the heat to create outdoor seating for worship, meditation, and community events AND to upgrade our playground facility. 

​This week's plans include installing an irrigation system for the seating area, backfilling the seating area, installing the fence around the playground perimeter, and beginning to block out where the various playground elements will go. 

Click on the Playground page to see more photographs of the work in progress.

The playground restoration is in memory of Gail Spear, a former Member of Grace Church.
