Volunteers spent last week installing new playground equipment at Oak Island Park.<\/p>\n
REVERE \u2014 The city has a sparkle thanks to a volunteer effort to spruce up neighborhood parks, the business district and even a cemetery.<\/p>\n
The projects, \u201cBeautify Revere\u201d and \u201cCommunity Build,\u201d brought more than 300 residents together for a single purpose: making the city a better place for everyone.<\/p>\n
Last weekend, this year\u2019s final clean-up was completed at the Rumney Marsh Burial Ground, the National Register of Historic Places resting place of 545 of Revere\u2019s earliest settlers on Butler Street.<\/p>\n
Two miles away, Kerri Courtois and her team installed a new playground set at Oak Island Park, one block from Revere Beach. She helped replace the swing set and jungle gym whose useful life had passed.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t want to say the equipment we replaced was dilapidated, but it was certainly neglected and not very colorful,\u201d she said. \u201cThe new one has all the bells and whistles that kids will love.\u201d<\/p>\n
The weekend project turned homeowners and tenants into do-it-yourselfers. Volunteers poured concrete, followed complicated directions and used power tools to get the job done, all this in last weekend\u2019s rain.<\/p>\n
