Crestline Elementary School’s new playground will be the first handicap accessible one in Mountain Brook.

Crestline Elementary students will start the school year with a brand new playground. The facility is the first handicap-accessible playground in Mountain Brook.

Since the Crestline playground is for the community as well as the school, many local groups donated money, including the Mountain Brook City Council, Mountain Brook Athletics, One Stop Environmental, Crestline Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts and NBC bank.
Rep. Paul de Marco, Sen. Jabo Waggoner and Sen. Slade Blackwell also donated to the cause.
