Service Above Self was on full display as Rochester Southwest Rotarians joined community volunteers to help build a new KABOOM! playground at West High Field in Rochester's 19th Ward.

The three-day community build, October 7–9, 2026, brought together volunteers, neighborhood residents, and community partners to transform the space into a colorful new playground where children and families will be able to gather, play, and connect. With a goal of recruiting 150 volunteers for Friday's final day of construction, there was plenty of work to go around, from assembling climbing structures and installing equipment to pouring concrete and providing volunteer support. Several Rochester Southwest Rotarians answered the call.
