Rotary Club aids playground

The Rotary Club of Columbus helped contribute Linden trees for an upgraded playground at Columbus Signature Academy — Lincoln Elementary School this fall.

The organization was a bronze level contributor to the project, which was modeled from an original concept for a playground developed in 1966 that did not happen. The name of the Linden Project was selected as a tribute to architect Gunnar Birkerts, who called for Linden trees in the design.

The Rotary Club of Columbus planted some Linden trees at CSA — Lincoln this fall, which coincided with the organization’s efforts to plant more than 100 trees in the Columbus area.
