July 16, 2019 — Rochester Rotary will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony to officially dedicate its fully accessible playground at Rochester Rotary Sunshine Campus, prior to its annual Camp Carnival, on Wednesday, July 17 at 4:30 p.m.

Shirley’s Playland is an accessible playground featuring an array of fun activities for campers, such as a slide and glider, a spinner, gravity cube, climbers, chin-up bars, ball toss, towers, a sign language panel and a sight and sound panel.
