Help us Build a New Playground...

Do you remember the twisty slide of your youth?  The first day you climbed up the slide from the bottom and how proud you were?    We all have a twisty slide from our youth, filled with fond memories. This isn't just about a twisty slide however.  Our call for help is regarding the entire playground where friendships are forged every day.  We have an opportunity to come together for our kids: our neighborhood kids, our Bergman Academy kids and the kids of the future who visit this great city park every day. Bergman Academy is raising money for playground equipment that once installed, will be gifted to the City of Des Moines. We thank the City of Des Moines Park Department for allowing us this opportunity to partner in this project.  
Greenwood park is the oldest park in Des Moines and is nestled South East of the art center.  Its amenities include a picnic pavilion, a community center, and a splash pad. However it is in desperate need of new play equipment.  Please help us revitalize our playground. 


Please know your gift comes with laughter, storytelling, games of relentless chase, adventures in tunnels, countless pretend submarine submersions, family picnics, friendships and growth - where our children's children will further build memories for years to come.
