CentroNía@Harvard Street receives a new playground! Build Day Build Day was the culmination of playground process. Nearly 200 volunteers – parents, staff, and community members – pitched in to build a beautiful new playground in a matter of hours. In addition to the build activities, there was a live media event with Cindy Crawford, who was promoting the playgrounds as part of PepsiCo’s Smart Spot healthy lifestyle campaign. Washington radio station Zol 99.1 FM provided music for the volunteers. Photo: Pre-assembly, Rakes Caption: Volunteers began the day with only the playground components.
