Nicole and Joel Open New Playground

Nicole Richie and husband Joel Madden, her daugther Harlow winter and youngest son Sparrow were seen celebrating the opening of the newest Madden’s playground last Tuesday, February 10th in Los Angeles California.

Despite the uncharacteristically bad weather, the opening was a meaningful accomplishment for Nicole and Joel, who pledged to raise $35,000 to build the playground in September 2008 through their “R-M” Children’s Foundation.

“When we first started coming here, there were no kids outside,” says the socilaite in a interview to a local newspaper . “To see the place come to life and have a place to come outside and be kids, and have their imaginations run wild, it’s really awesome.”
