Laticrete contributes to Pease Place Woodbridge Community Playground

Words: John AbanathyThe late Henry Rothenberg would have been very proud to see how a contribution from his company, LATICRETE, helped the Pease Place Woodbridge Community Playground, located on Pease Road.

With the support of several local businesses and organizations, including the Diamond-Level Sponsor LATICRETE, Woodbridge Community Playground Inc. constructed a community playground for children of all ages and ability levels. The group’s mission is to create a safe and accessible all-inclusive outdoor playground that fosters imaginative play and developmental learning. A place where all children can play side-by-side in an environment of acceptance and understanding of differences.

“Our founder, Henry Rothberg was a long term resident of Woodbridge and we are proud to honor the entire community with a LATICRETE contribution,” said James L. Bouldin, Vice President of Operations at LATICRETE. “We know Henry would have happily supported this playground.”
