Welcome to FPD’s

New Playground!

FPD’s new playground opened on May 20, 2021, with an official ribbon cutting ceremony led by FPD’s fifth grade class. The event began with two fifth graders, Wyatt West and Sutherlin Tanner, opening in prayer. After remarks by Dr. Patterson and FPD Board Chair, Danny Smith, FPD fifth graders were the first to cut the ribbon and play on the new equipment.

A special thank you to the project’s lead donors - Bill Ennis, Sheryl Burgess, Buddy and Saynor Ponder, and Hal and Saynor Foshee. Likewise, thank you to all of Viking Nation who gave to the Row the Boat campaign to make this new playground possible.
