1982 - Hank Riggio Playground Opening at Olive Park

1982

Heads bow as balloons are released at the dedication of the Hank Riggio Playground, a play area located within George A. Izay Park. Actress Debbie Reynolds is visible on stage, next to city officials. A student band stands nearby. Riggio, a Burbank native, had been stricken with polio while in his 20s, and dedicated much of his life to money-raising campaigns to help disabled children and adults in the community.
