The park “is life changing for them and for many people,” said Resident 2, a Mission resident. “Message to the community is come and play. Come and play at this brand new all inclusive park here in the city of Mission that everyone, doesn't matter how old you are or what your capabilities or abilities are, you can come and enjoy this with your family, your friends, your neighbors.”

Speakers described features aimed at accessibility. Resident 3, a Mission resident, said, “There's wheelchair accessible equipment. There is sensory accessible equipment. This is just a park for people of all ages. We have a zip line that anyone can get on.” Resident 1, a Mission resident, added that children from Mission had “been waiting for a place like this.”
