WHO WE ARE The Kiwanis International is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.
The Kiwanis Club of Brooklyn is a small group of motivated individuals who serve the Brooklyn and Napoleon school districts with this mission in mind.
COMMUNITY We are asking community members to support the Kiwanis Club of Brooklyn’s efforts to renovate the playground at Swain Memorial Park. The park is located near the corner of Tecumseh Street and River Street, just north of downtown in the Village of Brooklyn.
The playground has not been updated in several years and contains old, outdated, and frankly, unsafe play structures. We plan to remove several existing structures (such as swings, see-saws, and merry-go-round) and replace with modern and all-abilities inclusive equipment.
Swain Park is in need of fun play structures which will appeal to our community, keep our children and families active, and allow for persons of all abilities to use the playground.
PARTNERS The Kiwanis Club of Brooklyn’s Playground Renovation committee embarked on this project in the spring of 2022 and it is the most ambitious project in the Club’s history. The Committee met with and received proposals from three vendors and accepted the proposal from Penchura, a Landscape Structures dealer.
The playground committee is also meeting with several other service organizations to see if they would like to partner with the Kiwanis Club of Brooklyn on this project.
