OUR VISION

We want a park designed from the ground up for people of every ability and every age. Not just a piece or two of ADA equipment dropped into an existing park. A place where the design does the heavy lifting and every person who comes through the gate just gets to participate. With full dignity.That means things like accessible pathways, sensory and therapeutic zones, adaptive play structures, accessible restrooms with adult changing tables, a service dog relief area, full perimeter fencing, and shade throughout. And so much more.The details matter and we have thought about them. But the final vision belongs to this community and the partners who help bring it to life. When the time comes to build it together, we will let you know exactly how to be part of that conversation.
We are not asking for this to happen tomorrow. We are asking for the commitment to get there together.

Physical therapists. Occupational therapists. Autism specialists. Providers serving veterans, seniors, and people who are blind, Deaf, or living with developmental disabilities. People who collectively carry the experiences of hundreds of individuals in our community.That is who belongs at this table. So it is a park designed by the community not just for the community.We are building The Design Table now so that when the planning process begins, the right voices are already in the room.Who we are looking for:
