The Dedham Savings Community Foundation has made a grant to the Sheehan Playground Committee. Funds will be used to revitalize the existing playground located at the Sheehan Elementary School in Westwood. The project will include removal and disposal of the aging playground structures and the installation of a new, modern multi-component outdoor system with swings, slides and climbing features, providing children with a safe, vibrant shared space for healthy play.
