SEGA Sonic Playground in East Oakland!

To celebrate Sonic's 20th Anniversary SEGA created a playground focused on Sonic the Hedgehog! As well as the soon to come game Sonic Generations coming out November 1st to the Xbox 360, PS3, and PC. The Nintendo 3DS as well on November 22nd. SEGA partnered up with KaBOOM! to create the playground today October 28th in East Oakland, California, at the Youth Uprising Community center for children. Around 150 volunteers from the community have worked for eight hours today to complete the playground in just one day. Which I'm sure definitely took a load of hard work but I'd say was worth the pay off. Check out some of the pictures tweeted throughout the day below, they really show what you can do if you really put your mind to it! For even more check out these tweets: playground, mural, sonic!

Sega tweeted earlier:  "Apparently we mixed 10,000 lbs of concrete and spread two dump trucks of mulch! -KB"
