Dear Recipient Name:
The City of Scandia (City) has developed and approved plans to replace the existing playground equipment in the Community Center
Park adjacent to City Hall. The playground equipment has reached its useful life expectancy, and the City is excited to introduce
modern play equipment with Americans with Disability Act (ADA) accessible features to our community. The City recognizes the
importance of community playgrounds and the benefits they bring, including:
• Providing a gathering space for multi-generational community members.
• Encouraging active play for children and caregivers.
• Opportunities to add identifying characteristics to enhance community charm.
• Providing an opportunity for outdoor education and connection.
The City has dedicated funding for the playground equipment and based on community input and planning with vendors, the
proposed playground equipment layout on page two has been selected. This layout provides multi-generational park space use,
provides ADA features, and maintains options for future expansions of additional picnic area(s), adjoining trails, enhanced shade
structures, and potential adult fitness opportunities. The playground project is expected to break ground in 2022. However, moving
the project forward with additional and expanding ADA accessible features, additional structures and features or other park
amenities such as park benches, picnic tables, and shade structures or trees, requires additional funding.
The City would greatly appreciate your non-tax-deductible financial support for this park improvement project. We have established
the following sponsorship levels for you to consider.
• Bronze Level: $250 to $500
• Silver Level: $501 to $999
• Gold Level: $1,000 to $4,999
• Benefactor: $5,000 or more
Our financial goal for donations is $25,000 for the opportunity to add the items listed above. Upon the dedication of the new
playground equipment, a sign will be installed to recognize sponsors of the playground project.
Please contact the City with questions, comments, or concerns regarding the playground equipment update or if you wish to receive
more information. Our contact information by phone is 651-433-2274 or email at mail@ci.scandia.mn.us. We value your role in our
City and appreciate your support for this project.
Sincerely,
Mayor Christine Maefsky
