Doylestown Township’s own Central Park Kids Castle is fast on its way to a renovation due to the efforts of the Friends of Kids Castle group.
The mission of the group, which is madeup of community members, is to restore the structure withnontoxic, maintenance-free recycled materials so that it maybe enjoyed by current and future generations.
The organization needs to raise $150,000 by March 2013 tostay on target with current goals and to complete phase one—the restoration of the inside play area of the castle.

Schools in the area are collecting ideas by asking students to draw what they want on their dream play-ground. The organization leaders will then integrate the visionof the children into the new structure.
