The Genesis Playground Fund
Genesis Place Apartments is a Non-Profit Housing Complex located in Richmond Hill at the corner of Yonge Street and Crosby Avenue (south of Elgin Mills). The apartments were opened in 1989 and have since, housed hundreds of low income families with children. The playground was built in the same year as the buildings, and is in desperate need of being replaced. In any given year, there are 60 -70 children aged 2 - 12 who use the playground. The children of Genesis Place will very much appreciate any donations offered to create a new playground. The volunteer board of directors are deeply grateful to those who help them live up to the Genesis Place motto: "A place for new beginnings, a place to call home"
