      Kids are born to play, and the inspired art of La Laguna Playground hosts them for a special day of their own tomorrow, Saturday, May 16, from 11:00 am – 2:00 pm.

      By News Desk

      In 1965, the Laguna de San Gabriel playground was built on the last undeveloped land of Vincent Lugo Park.  Benjamin Dominguez, an artist known for his imaginative concrete structures, was the creator of the playground.  

      This year’s event will consist of games, family fun, and entertainment.
