There’s a brand-new playground in your neighborhood that was built in one day thanks to community volunteers!

Together with KABOOM!, Gateway Community Action Partnership, and the Borough of Paulsboro, more than 100 volunteers from Atlantic City Electric and IBEW Local 210 joined forces on April 10 to construct a new playground for West Buck Street Park in Paulsboro.

Designed by local students and community members in January, volunteers used those drawings as the inspiration for the new playground. Working side by side, the project was completed in just six hours.

This is part of a nationwide effort led by KABOOM! to end playspace inequity – the reality that far too many children don’t have access to a playground, something that should be part of every child’s life. Their work is to ensure every child can experience the numerous physical, social, and mental health benefits of play regardless of background or where they live.

The new playground reflects our commitment to building thriving communities and furthers our mission to power a cleaner and brighter future for the neighborhoods where we live and work.

We'll see you at the playground!
