Community celebrates inclusive playground's impact on children
During a recent government meeting, officials highlighted the significant impact of Kayla's Playground, a fully inclusive recreational space that has been serving the community since its opening in 2015. The playground, inspired by Shelley’s daughter Kayla, is designed to accommodate children of all abilities, including those with disabilities and neurodiversity, allowing them to play without barriers.

The discussion emphasized the importance of inclusivity in recreational spaces, noting that Kayla's Playground was created to provide children with special needs a place to enjoy playtime and momentarily escape their challenges. The playground has recently undergone improvements, including the installation of a new surface, showcasing ongoing collaboration between the city and the community.

At a city council meeting earlier in the week, a council member remarked on the positive reception of the playground, stating that there have been no complaints since its inception, which prompted applause from attendees. This sentiment reflects the strong community support and the successful partnership between the district and the city in maintaining the playground.

Officials expressed their intention to formally recognize the contributions of Kayla's Playground and its advocates, underscoring the importance of such inclusive initiatives in fostering a supportive environment for all children.
