Murch playground now closed for two-year school renovation

September 9, 2016 by FHC

The playground at Murch Elementary (4810 36th Street NW) has long been a hangout even for kids who don’t go to Murch. And how many kids learned to ride their bikes here?

It often looked like this even on weekends!

We had the summer to say our goodbyes to the blue top. And as of Thursday, September 8th, the playground was closed so builders could get ready to to begin the two-year renovation project. See MurchSchool.org for the update.
