ODESSA, Aug. 11 -- The pieces were assembled, the mulch was hauled methodically to its destination, concrete was mixed and poured -- and within hours Thursday, a new playground was built at Catharine Park outside Odessa.
About 150 Home Depot employees -- working on a volunteer basis -- and assorted local hands constructed the $35,000-plus playground with relative speed, completing the task a good half-hour ahead of schedule. A board-cutting ceremony marking the occasion occurred well before its scheduled time of 2:30 p.m.
