Almost a year after it was built, volunteers are still adding to the community playground at Fort Nugent Park.

The latest addition comes courtesy of students at Crescent Harbor Elementary School.

The students in grades one through five produced ceramic flowers and other decorations as part of a classroom project.

Once the students finished their ceramic projects, teacher Christine Dixon took the items and embedded them in bricks so they could be placed at the entrance of the community playground.

Several workers from the city of Oak Harbor helped place the bricks last Tuesday afternoon with the help of some of the students of the class. The students hauled the bricks from the truck to the two workers installing the bricks.

Dixon said the idea for placing student art at the giant playground came about last spring before construction began.

The bricks are the second batch of student art installed at the playground. When first constructed, six-by-six inch, painted ceramic tiles were incorporated into the design.

The community playground was built last summer with the help of approximately 450 volunteers over a four-day period. The 11,000-square-foot playground features a castle, fort and submarine and it cost approximately $175,000. Students attending Oak Harbor elementary schools helped design the popular play area.
