Perry County, Indiana marks an exciting milestone this Friday as the Perry County Public Library unveils a newly installed musical playground on its Tell City lawn. Built through partnerships between the library and the Perry County Chamber of Commerce, this outdoor learning venue opens with a ribbon cutting scheduled for 11 a.m. on September 26. The idea took shape in early September when community groups collaborated to bring interactive musical instruments to the public green space adjacent to the library on Tell Street.

As the installation wrapped up, the news began circulating throughout local outlets, with the Perry County News and Dubois County Herald previewing the event and inviting families to participate in the celebration. This musical playground stands out as the first of its kind in the county, blending creative learning with recreation in a location that sits at the heart of Tell City’s downtown life.

Organizers hope the playground will draw children and families into more active use of library and park facilities, encouraging intergenerational engagement and educational play. Public officials and library staff see the playground as a catalyst for neighborhood pride and recovery, helping families reconnect after pandemic disruptions. Reporters are encouraged to attend the ribbon cutting and speak with library staff, Chamber leaders, and local families for firsthand perspectives.

While opening day attendance is yet unknown, the event promises a lively gathering and a fresh start for community-centered public spaces.

In the coming weeks, the playground’s popularity and its integration with future library programs will be worth tracking, offering new angles for ongoing coverage.
