Community members came out to make the finishing touches on the new hillside park playground in South Abington Township.<\/p>\n

LACKAWANNA COUNTY, Pa. \u2014 On Sunday, some finishing touches were made to the brand-new hillside park playground along Winola Road in South Abington Township<\/a>, near Clarks Summit.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Community members came out this morning for an Earth Day-themed clean-up and to complete landscaping around the new area.<\/p>\n

“And we saw the old playground, which was missing pieces. It was rotted down at the bottom and thought maybe it would be dangerous… and I got some uh some quotes on it, and we put up this thing which is a beautiful playground, and it’s gonna last well after I’m gone,” said Joe Skinner from the Abington Lions Club.<\/p>\n

The brand new $40,000 playground was donated by the Lions Club in Lackawanna County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Community members came out to make the finishing touches on the new hillside park playground in South Abington…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":177063,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[178,180,179],"class_list":["post-177062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177062","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=177062"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/177062\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/177063"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=177062"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=177062"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=177062"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
