Fire at Chesapeake City Park
Fun Forest - April 1, 2010
On the early morning of April 1, 2010, an arsonist set fire to a major play structure at Fun Forest - children's imagination playground originally built with the intended purpose of building young minds as well as bodies - located in Chesapeake City Park. The Fire Department was called around 4:30 a.m. to extinguish the fire, and they did quickly. Fortunately, the other pieces of equipment in Fun Forest were not harmed.
Fun Forest was built in 1995, solely by volunteers and donations from the general public and businesses.
Due to budget cuts there are no funds available to rebuild the playground. The City will be relying on donated funds and labor to replace the equipment.
