IRVINE PARK Photo: Chippewa Falls Parks Dept.

Chippewa Falls’ Irvine Park just got a little more awesome: In early June, a huge new set of playground equipment was installed just across from the park’s duck pond. The 21st-century jungle gym includes ladders, slides, a multi-level tower, and a crazy geodesic space-web thingy. (OK, it probably has another name, but that’s what it looks like.) Kudos to TTM Technologies for the donation of $70,000 and volunteer labor to make the new playground possible!
