Welcome To Port Angeles' Dream Playground!
The Children of Port Angeles, Washington dreamed up something special, and our community pulled together to make their dream a reality.
The Port Angeles Dream Playground was built over five days in September of 2002 by more than two thousand volunteers with tools and equipment loaned by the community and is one of the largest volunteer projects Clallam County has ever seen. This amazing effort was akin to an old-fashioned barn-raising, with people of all ages participating in the build. Over $185,000 was raised to pay for the construction. Most of the funds came from a host of local businesses and more than 10,000 individual contributors. In 2009, the volunteers became restless and created an 800 square-foot pavilion adjacent to the playground.
The Dream Playground Foundation, a non-profit fund-raising organization, was established in 2003 to encourage ongoing community involvement and support for the playground. We help coordinate and pay for maintenance, repair and expansion, and do ongoing fundraising so we can rebuild the facility when it reaches the end of its 30-year lifespan. With your support, the Foundation can keep our children's dream alive for decades to come.
The playground is open year round from dawn till dusk. It is normally closed one weekend in August for painting and maintenance.
