ABOUT THE LEOPARD PLAYGROUND COMMITTEE

The Leopard Playground Committee operates independently from USD395 and the school bond, consisting of passionate parents and community members dedicated to providing high-quality outdoor play and learning experiences. With the new school set to open in September 2025, we’re working on a tight timeline to have the playground ready for the first day of school. Our plan is to phase construction, prioritizing essential play structures and learning zones as funds become available.
 

The Leopard Playground Committee was formed to raise funds for a new playground at the upcoming elementary school in LaCrosse, which is being built with funds from a 2023 school bond. The bond covers the construction of the new school, a gym, high school updates, and a basic playground. However, we envision a more inclusive and engaging play space that goes beyond standard equipment. We are committed to creating a dynamic and vibrant playground that will serve as a central recreational hub for the youth in our community—a space that encourages creativity, physical activity, and social interaction.

​

As a community, we are passionate about making a difference by providing a safe and stimulating environment for children to explore and grow. Our goal is to create a top-tier playground with ADA-compliant equipment, multiple play structures, a basketball court, 4-square areas, shaded spaces, and open fields for football and soccer. By using weather-resistant materials, we aim to build a safe, durable playground that will serve future generations. Through our dedicated efforts, we aspire to bring about positive change and enrich the lives of families in LaCrosse.
