After the diagrams were drawn up, community leaders received from Leathers' firm spiral-bound manuals detailing exactly what lumber and tools were needed. Some critics have voiced concern about the safety of volunteer-built playgrounds, but Leathers insists only the best materials are used and the workers are strictly supervised.
