The ValPlayso Park Build Week - The Kickoff

A Valparaiso staple is about to get a facelift. We stopped by the first day of the building of the new ValPLAYso park to see how the park's progress is coming along and to get a first hand look at the community wide effort to give Valpo's new generation of kids a safer and more inviting park. We stopped and talked to a few of the parks biggest developers and volunteers to hear what they had to say about how Valplayso is getting put together - piece by piece.
