LAKE IN THE HILLS, IL -- The above playground equipment may look familiar to local residents. But the location of the equipment may not. The village of Lake in the Hills partnered with a program called Kids Around the World recycles to have the old LeRoy Guy Park playground moved to its new home in Gulu, Uganda, according to a recent post on the Lake in the Hills Facebook page.

The Kids around the World program recycles and reuses old playground equipment by reinstalling it in disadvantaged communities.

When the village replaced LeRoy Guy Park's playground in 2017, the old equipment was donated to the program.

"It made its way to Gulu, Uganda where it was installed for this community," according to the Facebook post.

In addition, the old Normandy Park playground was installed in Thomassique, Haiti.
