Play area transformed after collective community effort [Pics]
A whirlwind of community support helped transform a Hutchison Park play area after a Facebook post decried the state it was left in.
WHAT began as a simple Facebook post turned into a strong show of support from the community, which came together on Workers’ Day to revamp the children’s play area in Hutchison Park.
When Bronwyn Andrea Bewick took to social media to complain about the state of the park, local businesses, individuals and organisations, including Salajees Hardware, Easigrass, Holm Fabrications, Kings Hardware, Pinetown Poles, Franco Molato and Love Cities, Love Toti, banded together to make a difference.

Kathy Sinclair of Love Cities, Love Toti said, “We are convinced that the solutions to our crumbling communities can only be found in unity. Finding like-minded people, co-creating solutions and buying into a collective vision is key to rebuilding our towns and cities in South Africa. We made a difference and made a playground safe for the children again and in the process, we had fun.”
