The Dothan-Houston Rotary as well as other community partnerships began building a new playground for the kids.

Ground was broken today to build the new play area for the children living in the home. The structure will have slides, a jungle gym and lots of places to climb.

Many of the kids in the Wiregrass Children’s home come from hard backgrounds. The homes’ coordinators say the play set is a great spot for them to put their troubles behind them.

Work on the playground will continue on Saturday. WTVY will be back to the area to check on its progress.
