The Enterprise Rent-A-Car Foundation recently awarded the Skinker DeBaliviere Community Council a $10,000 grant to help build a playground at the corner of Kingsbury and Des Peres Boulevards.
The playground, which will replace a parking lot will provide a community green space and a play area for children in one of St. Louis’ most diverse neighborhoods. “We are delighted to support an effort that provides families and children a space where they can play and meet their fellow neighbors,” said Christy Conrad of Enterprise Rent-ACar.
In recent years, more and more families with small children have moved into the central west end neighborhood, reinforcing the need for a playground. Enterprise, the largest rental car company in the United States was recently named by Fortune Magazine as one of the “100 Best Companies To Work For.” “The play area will be great for the children and will help build a sense of community as well as enhance the overall neighborhood,” noted volunteer Katrina Stierholz.
The volunteer effort has raised two-thirds of the approximately $55,000 needed to build the playground. Other contributors include – Washington University and Whitaker Foundation and individuals.
