Come and play, experience Firefly Field — a playground for all kids. Tri-State’s premier playground is open.
Kids of all ages will have a chance to enjoy the unique Excavating Pit — a spacious, cool and comfortable sand area, the Curved Track Ride — a fun glide ride that offers eight- to 12-year-olds a challenging workout, the magnificent Playweb designed to build balance and creative thinking for four-year-olds and up, or the Sway Fun — a giant adaptive glider offering exciting movement for children of all ages. These are just a few of the over 50 pieces of play equipment at Firefly Field. Also included are numerous wheel chair accessible covered areas and pavilions, all ideal for picnics and caregiver comfort.
“I’m excited that we have finally opened,” said Ronnie Biondo, Board member and co-founder of the playground. “We want Firefly Field to be filled with children, parents, grandparents, and caregivers all enjoying the outdoors and safe play.” Designed for children of all abilities and from all walks of life, it is an all-accessible playground conceived for the advancement of inclusion, self-determination and our children’s future success by creating a place where all kids can play, share and learn.
The project has been subsidized primarily by the Biondo Memorial Foundation and generous donations from many local businesses and individuals. Additionally, the town of Matamoras donated the acre of land where the playground sits. Ernie Bertuzzi, local owner of Ebcor Construction Company, managed the challenging construction of the project and, along with numerous crews, worked very hard to meet the opening date.
Joe Biondo, Board president and co-founder of the playground said, “I really think there is nothing else quite like it — Firefly Field has been adapted so it is truly accessible. Scott Eck, our talented designer and project manager, has used real imagination and creativity with the layout. Now, we just want the community to come and enjoy it.”
Firefly Field is conveniently located at Airport Park, Matamoras, Pennsylvania. Please direct inquiries and donations to The Biondo Foundation, 221 Broad Street., Milford, PA 18337. Contact Maria Crawford at 570-686-2402.
Bring the children and a picnic lunch. Come and play, experience Firefly Field from 7:30 am to 8:30 pm seven days a week.
