The Peoples Bank Foundation announced yesterday that it has donated $10,000 to the City of Marietta for the construction of a Senior Playground in Watson Park, located along Marietta's River Trail.
The project will consist of installing nine pieces of exercise equipment. Four of the pieces of equipment will be handicap and wheelchair accessible; a handicap accessible pathway will also be constructed. Watson Park was selected as the site due to its River Trail access and easy walking distance from the O'Neill Center and other historic downtown Marietta locations.
Peoples Bank Foundation contributions focus on charitable giving in four major areas: community investment and economic development, youth and education, human services programs that improve the social needs of low to moderate income communities and individuals, and arts and culture. Organizations receiving foundation grants must meet those requirements and serve the markets where Peoples Bank currently has offices.
