Over two hot, humid days in Napoleonville, La., LSU Biological Engineering (BE) students and graduates, LSU Biological & Agricultural Engineering Department Chair Marybeth Lima, and Assumption Parish community members worked steadily during the breaks in the rain to construct a new playground at Marais Park. Though the process looks similar to other playgrounds Lima and her students have helped build over the years, this one is special. This is the 50th playground they have constructed as part of the LSU Community Playground Project (LSUCPP), an engineering community engagement program started by Lima in 1998.
