A fund to help rebuild the park has been set up and the Rotary Club of Arcata has said it will match donations up to $4,000 to rebuild the playground. The local Soroptimist club is also collecting funds, and Humboldt Republican Women donated $250 on Tuesday.

Checks can be mailed or dropped off to the city manager's office at 736 F St. in Arcata. Donors should note “Vaissade Park playground fund” on the check.
