The new addition was added to the playground behind the Sippican School building. The project was funded through capital funding designated for the playground by the Town of Marion and a $50,000 donation from Tabor Academy.

"This playground structure is a wonderful new addition to our Sippican grounds and we are excited to have it open to not only our students but all Marion children," Superintendent Nelson said.

"I am grateful to the Town of Marion and Tabor Academy for their contributions to this project," he said. "I would also like to thank Facilities Director Eugene Jones for his work guiding this project through the planning and installation process, and the Marion Department of Public Works for its assistance and support."

The project, completed in March, has since been opened for use by elementary students. In addition to Sippican students, the playground is also accessible to the community seven days a week.
