A grant from Monogram Loves Kids Foundation (a charitable activity of Monograms Foods), helped to complete the funding package for new play equipment at Gullord Park. The park improvement project was started in 2021 as a joint effort of the Murray County Foundation and the Murray County Daycare Association. Other community groups and business organizations joined the effort. The City of Slayton contributed the installation cost of the new Roxall Teeter Totter. The new equipment is designed to encourage children of different ages and physical abilities to enjoy playing together. Individuals and organizations interested in helping with future park improvements may contact the Murray County Foundation at: laible@comcast.net.
