This is an ongoing project with many updates as we work to spread awareness, raise funds, and educate on inclusive play.
Our Do You Want to Build a Playground? Breakfast Fundraiser has made it into The Whig! We are so happy with how our fundraiser turned out and we are very appreciative toward all who attended. Check out Jan Murphy’s article to learn more about The Inclusive Play Project.
After speaking with many community groups, organizations, parents, and kids, we have outlined some improvements to our playground features! The design has the entire playground covered in rubber surfacing, which provides great accessibility for wheelchair users. A few other new features include the accessible merry-go-round, an adapted seesaw, a communication board, ramps and transfer stations, and many sensory panels! To get a better idea of some of these features, check out our Instagram page where we post equipment highlights (@theinclusiveplayproject).
Take a look at the plans!! We are super excited to share these new features with everyone and cannot wait for all of the playground fun.
Tuesday, November 28th is Giving Tuesday! This day provides an opportunity for donations to be made to the Inclusive Play Project. Giving Tuesday promotes our playground project while creating awareness for disability and accessibility. To those interested in donating, any amount is appreciated!
