Mom's For Play was started because the six of us moms saw a need for a safe and secure place for our children to play. The more we talked to the community we saw that our vision needed to be expanded and so the Vision for the St. Alban's Community Park began.
We want to create a core area for the commuinity where residents of all ages can come together on common ground for physical activity, family outings and where comunity members of all ages can socialize. The community park can help restore pride in our community and creates a desirable location to help attract new residents to St. Alban's.
Mom's For Play intends to give the residents a sense of control over the community's needs by listening to their choices, showing that every residents opinion matters.
