1982 - Hank Riggio Playground Opening at Olive Park

1982

Park Director Rich Inga speaks at the dedication of the Hank Riggio Playground, a play area located within George A. Izay Park. Other city officials share the stage, and actress Debbie Reynolds is visible in red at the far left. Hank 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.
