Playground installation completed

Baxter Early Learning Center (BELC) announces the completion of the playground installation at Giesi Park. The playground is located at 208 E. Station St., and is the first installation in Hometown Pride’s park beautification plan. This playground equipment includes four swings, three slides, a climbing wall, a 75′ zipline and various musical instruments. The equipment was donated by BELC to further enhance the ongoing renovations at Giesi Park.

BELC (formerly known as Kid-Ville) is a non-profit childcare and preschool center, founded in November 1990 and supported by the community for many years to help develop children’s social skills, emotional growth, and prepare them for kindergarten in a loving environment.

BELC sold to Growing Greatness Learning Center in 2021, but continues to find ways to give back to the community and the children who live in it.
