Children’s Advocacy Center of the Bluegrass gets new playground

LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ)- The Chlldren’s Advocacy Center of the Bluegrass in Lexington has a new playground. It’s called the Junior League of Lexington Playground. And the center says it serves a much bigger purpose than just having fun. It says the hope is that the playground will help children who’ve been sexually abused express their emotions in a safe environment.

CACB Development Director Winn Stephens says, "It allows them to come out here and express themselves in a child friendly setting…It also helps us with child care needs, when clients are bringing their kids to the center. So we’re just thrilled to have it and to have it open."

The playground was funded by a grant from the Junior League of Lexington.
