A great cause: Accessible Playground Project

We want to create an outdoor space where families can spend time together, enjoy the fresh air and  benefit from physical exercise. By designing an accessible playground, we will be ensuring that children and family members with disabilities can also utilize the space. The addition of benches, picnic tables, landscaping and a gazebo or pavilion will further enhance the park.

 

You can help!

Participate! Run or walk. Bring a friend. Spread the word. Volunteer! Help set up, cheerlead, register    runners, distribute water, food, and much more. Sponsor! We are soliciting contributions from businesses, corporations, civic organizations and individuals. We also welcome your interest in the Accessible Playground project.
