Friday, July 13, 2001 – The brick walkway is ALMOST DONE! Russ DiCicco of Native Landscape Design (Lincoln) is setting our brick walkway with the engraved bricks that have been so anticipated. You'll have to go down this weekend and hunt for yours!
Also this week, new fencing went in. In a few more days we'll have gates on the openings to keep toddlers in. We're adding a gate at the main entrance, and another gate in the new section of fence at the back.
WAYLAND, MA, Monday, May 21, 2001 – The playground is closed this week (if the weather holds out) to allow our crew time to seal the wood. PLEASE --- do NOT use the play structure until the sealant cures! Thank you for your help.
Let the painting begin! -- We had a beautiful day to start our wood sealing project at the playground... although the forecast is a bit grim. Please cooperate with the signs and stay off the structure until the wood sealant cures.
WAYLAND, MA, Thursday, May 10, 2001 – Great Scott! We're havin' fun now! Well, we're nearly there.... the big, big thing left to do is seal the wood to protect it.... and that's going to happen soon...

HANNAH WILLIAMS PLAYGROUND, Saturday, MAY 5, 2001 -- And the band, begins to play, bum ba, ba, bum, ba, bum, ba, bum.....
.... ahh, those oldies... hey "Daddio" did ya like it? Yes.... those are real, live, Wayland Daddio's... at least most of the five had kiddos who enjoy the playground. They all donated their time to entertain (quite professionally, we might add...) at the Community Day festivities. (Photos by Steve Robb)
Huge crowds gathered at the park and playground to enjoy the beautiful day. We only hope that we'll have more festivities and lots and lots of great fun at the playground.
