The Village Green - Village Play Playground Project
One of the highlights of a visit to The Village Green is the children’s playground, Village Play. As you enter the gated area, the laughter and energy of children fill the air.
Village Play was designed by the children of Cashiers in 2002. The playground was then COMPLETELY constructed entirely 1,500 members of the Cashiers community over a matter of 5 days!
Now, during the spring of 2024, The Village Green will begin the Village Play Restoration Phase where we are inviting our fellow community members to help us restore the current, whimsical structure!
Thank you to everyone in our community for continuing to support The Village Green as your treasured location for community gatherings, social unity, and family recreation!
Community Repair Days are planned for:
