Greetings all!

I am a local neighborhood mom and teacher who is working to raise money for Sand Day 2026! Sand Day 2026 is scheduled for May 2, 2026!

The Indian Road Playground is one of my favorite places to hang out with my son and his buddies. We need new sand this year for the sand pit. Additionally, the Sand Day Team would also like to purchase or build a job box for the future. This job box would hold materials for sand day including a screen for sifting sand, a few brooms for sweeping up sand, as well as rakes and gloves. The ultimate goal is to replenish the sand each year. We were quite successful last year and with your help, we can do it again!

The Parks Department is responsible for the upkeep of playgrounds, but not the replenishment and maintenance of sand. That is up to us.

Sand Day is currently scheduled for Saturday, May 2, 2026. The sand will be delivered the night before. Sand Day is a longstanding community event in Inwood. The Parks Department, families, and other community-based organizations all work together to get the old sand out and the new sand in. More details will follow about Sand Day itself, but what we need now is the funding to purchase sand, supplies and a job box or job box materials.

Please contribute what you can to ensure that our children have fresh sand for this spring, summer, and fall. If your family is an IRP family like mine, please contribute what you can. Any money that is not used for sand and job box supplies will be used to buy snacks and supplies for this wonderful event.
