Mystery Donor For McKinley Park Rebuild Effort Revealed

SACRAMENTO (CBS13) — The city of Sacramento revealed the mystery donor behind an effort to rebuild McKinley Park.

Sutter Children's Center is donating nearly $50,000 to help rebuild the twice-burned-down play area. The playground burned last week after being rebuilt following a prior fire last July.

So far, an estimated $1.5 million in volunteer labor and cash has been donated.

"It's remarkable that a major community playground could be built with the city only putting in a quarter of the costs," said Councilman Steve Cohn. "It's a tribute to our community coming together."

The rebuild will begin June 4.
