In 2019, Friends of Williamston Parks’ efforts primarily focused on the new playground at Volunteers Community Park in Williamston. In the first quarter of the year, the final $30,000 needed was raised from grants and private donations.

Williamston Area Chamber of Commerce hosted a ribbon cutting ceremony for the City of Williamston and the Friends of Williamston Parks to celebrate the opening of the new playground at Volunteers Community Park. Thanks again for everyone's hard work on this project!

When the kids need a break from playing, visitors to McCormick Park can now enjoy a story together on a bench or underneath a shady tree. The newest addition to the Williamston park is a Little Free Library, located near the Tot Lot and wooden play structures.

Some were lifelong Williamston residents. Some helped build the McCormick Park playground. Some recently moved to Williamston. All of the more than 70 volunteers who came to Volunteers Community Park had one goal: a new playground. They dug holes, tightened bolts, shoveled mulch and more July 25 to July 27.
