For years the kids of
Miller had no playground other than a few broken down swings at the school playgrounds.
Nothing in Marquette Park. In 1996 a small group of people decided something
should be done about that. The result is a magnificent playground along the beach
east of the Aquatorium.

The park was built with design help from local area children, a few
matching funds, but mostly the hard work of volunteers who raised over $100,000 and
pitched in to build the shelter, the central walkways, huge sundial and other great
features of the park But the Playground Committe still needs money. Initial projects need
to be completed and the playground needs to be maintained. One of the ways that the
committe raised money was by selling engraved bricks. These are still available and you
can memorialize, yourself, your parents, or anything else for that matter, with a brick.
