GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ-WLUK) – This Independence Day Heritage Hill in Allouez celebrated the way it knows best.
“America’s Picnic” ran through the day.
The event celebrates the Fourth of July as well as the dedication of the park 40 years ago, in 1977.
A ribbon-cutting was held at Heritage Hill, to welcome the new Children’s Interactive Learning Center, fitting the park’s theme “Come to play, stay to learn.”
Director Erin Conner says integrating education in the playground has an everlasting effect.
“As an educator here at the park you know you worry about, how does it balance with the education component but because we put those education parts into the playground I think it’s really adding a special part to the park that, like I said visitors and teachers can use as much as they want.”
Of course ‘America’s Picnic’ also celebrated the nation’s 242nd Birthday.
