Grand opening of toddler-friendly playground in Johnson City
JOHNSON CITY, N.Y. (WIVT/WBGH) – Local children have a new, age-appropriate place to learn, play, and grow. Mothers and Babies Perinatal Network held a news conference on Thursday, announcing the grand opening of its brand-new playground located at the Johnson City PAL Center. The brightly colored state-of-the-art playground is suitable for younger children, under the age of 5, and supports early physical development while keeping kids safe from injury. Mothers and Babies is also partnering with Broome Includes to install a communication board, so non-verbal children have the chance to interact with other kids as well. Broome County Executive Jason Garnar thanked Mothers and Babies for their dedication to bringing a new space to the local area for kids and families to enjoy. 'This new playground is more than just a place to stay, it's a symbol of their mission in action, supporting healthy development, strong families, in a connected community,' said Garnar. The playground was made possible through the Restore New York Communities Initiative grant. The Johnson City property on Grand Avenue had been vacant since 2019 until Mothers and Babies moved its headquarters there in August 2023.
