The Story:

The Leathers family has come full circle with the construction of the playground at Fall Creek Elementary School. Bob Leathers began his community-built career by organizing a playground build at his children’s elementary school in Ithaca in 1971. Since then, the firm has worked on more than 1,600 projects throughout the world.

Marc Leathers, Bob’s son, has been working with the company since he was a teenager. So it was a special moment in June 2000 when Marc had the opportunity to work on a playground build at his daughter’s school. All of the employees of Leathers & Associates volunteered at the project and were able to see what a community build was like from an all-new perspective.
