Sharon's PowerPoint Presentation. Click here. Kids Coulee - A community-built playscape for children of all abilities. Kids Coulee was completely funded by donations of more than $190,000 and built by over 3,700 volunteers in 1994 Kids Coulee is a special multi-leveled playscape with a number of play structures that challenges children of all abilities and an amphitheater that is unique in the county. Each spring area Rotarians have a Rotary Work Day at Kids Coulee and volunteer to spruce up Kids Coulee. The La Crosse Rotary Downtown Annual Service Committee headed by Kurt Schroeder obtained funding last year to purchase and install an Ocean Seesaw that accommodates all children including those with disabilities. They received funding from the La Crosse Community-Foundation-Mary Grace Sieber Fund, Rotary Works Foundation (includes all area Rotary Clubs) and the City of La Crosse. We thank all three organizations for working together with the area Rotary Clubs to continue to keep Kids Coulee a safe play area for our children and grandchildren. Photos Kids Coulee
