Let's build a playground

What's the next big idea from the Middleton Area Optimist Club? A playground!

That's right - in conjunction with the Greater Middleton Parks and Recreation District, the Middleton Area Optimist Club has begun fundraising for new playground equipment. It will be installed in Foote Park as part of the overall vision for developing the park as one of Middleton's favorite recreation spots.

Keeping with the rural heritage of the community, the Farmstead at Foote Park will begin with this dream in mind.

The project has started with an initial contribution from the Optimist Club of $2,400, but that's just a drop in the bucket of the $150,000 we need to raise. To that end, the club will be looking for fundraising and grant opportunities and it also hopes to find a number of benevolent community supporters to help make the dream a reality. You can help jumpstart the project by voting today in the Idaho Power Powering Lives project on Facebook. With enough votes, we just might add another $1,500 to the pot.
