The city officially accepted the gift to build the new playground and this wonderful change is happening because you all refused to be quiet. I am truly stunned by the outcome and feel incredibly lucky that so many people stood up for our neighbors. Let us keep an eye on …

The current playground at Greeley Park in Nashua is decades old and in poor condition. It has been well loved, enjoyed beyond its years, has rust, broken parts, and missing swings, and sits in the middle of Nashua's most attractive park. It is NOT currently accessible to individuals with disabilities. All the debate, study, and discussion in the world cannot overcome the fact that this current playground is not accessible to a significant and important portion of our population.
Nashua has an opportunity to accept a gift of $250,000 from a group of Nashua leaders, who want the City to use those funds to replace the old equipment with a new, all-accessible playground. This group has worked for two years with city officials and with licensed professionals who understand ADA compliance and access, to ensure that the new playground will be accessible within Greeley Park to all.
Let's show our support for this great project!
The new playground will replace the old equipment, will mesh with the park's natural motif, and be accessible to all! It will not take up any additional green space in Greeley Park. Appropriate parking and access has also been taken into account, with the plans for a new playground as well.
Greeley Park is often described as the crown jewel in Nashua's park system. Let's start treating it that way, and replace the playground and improve the park's access for people of all abilities!
If we reach 500 signatures before Monday April 21st, the signature goal will be raised. Go for the gusto, and share this petition with your Nashua friends!

I logged on this morning and honestly had to double check the number because 500 signatures is just incredible. This is entirely due to the way you all have stepped up for our park and I am genuinely humbled to be a part of this effort with you.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many of you have stepped up to champion our park. We are almost at five hundred signatures which is a number I never imagined we would reach. If you could send this link to just a few neighbors today we might actually hit that goal before the next board meeting.

I really never expected this level of interest when I first started this page. The momentum behind the park project is truly yours and I am just so humbled to be a small part of it.

EVERY child deserves to have a place to play. My nephew uses a walker and he cant even get into the current sand area. This needs to happen.
My kids love that park but it really is falling apart. Broken swings are everywhere. About time we did something.
Greeley park has been neglected for too long. Fix it up already.
So happy someone is finally stepping up to fix this. The old metal slides are super rusty and dangerous anyway.
Why turn down free money? This is a no brainer. Fix the playground.
