When Cora Sue Gonzales became principal at Denver's Johnson Elementary School last year, one of her first priorities was resurrecting the dilapidated playground.

"It is really important for the kids to have a safe place to play that they are excited to go to," Gonzales said.

On Thursday, it happened in a day.

More than 200 volunteers, organized by KaBOOM, the Chrysler Foundation, Chrysler Financial, and local Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge dealerships, descended on the school, 1850 S. Irving St., to help create the children's dream playground. The final design was based on drawings provided by Johnson students who met in April with organizers from KaBOOM. [More]
