“Dragon
Park” Roaring Toward Renovation
MIPA Kicks Off Fundraising with Flair
How to Donate to
the Dragon Park Renovation
Don’t
be left in the smoke!
Nearly 45
years after MIPA first founded, designed and installed
Deane’s Children Park at Island Crest Park, fondly known as
“Dragon Park”, the volunteer parent organization, along with MI Parks & Recreation, will breathe (fire) new life into Dragon
Park. Read what others
are saying about the Dragon Park Renovation or read the
frequently asked questions.
In this
forested park of dragons, MIPA has replaced the antiquated and
unsafe metal slide structure with a castle themed toddler area
complete with a castle, seesaw, dragon drum and metallophone.
The area will be suited for young
children of all abilities.
