Kingston moves closer to first Inclusive Playground with $25,000 donation
Another milestone has been reached for Inclusive Play Project.
On Wednesday, representatives handed over a cheque worth $25,000 to Mayor Bryan Paterson to go towards building a fully inclusive playground in Kingston.
The overall goal is to raise $1.5 million for the project, and over the last six months, the IPP has brought in $200,000.
According to IPP officials, an inclusive playground allows children and adults of all abilities to play together and creates a fun, nurturing environment for everyone. These playgrounds are accessible (e.g. rubberized surfacing, ramps and wheelchair rocker), but also have classic features you would see in a typical playground (e.g. slides and monkey bars).
