Our Mission....
Every child deserves the opportunity to participate alongside their peers. Those that are limited because of a disability need a safe and accommodating place to play, require specialized equipment, and programs that are designed to ensure their needs are properly met. Currently, there are an abundance of playgrounds scattered around the state of Kentucky but very few of those playgrounds off the proper surfacing equipment that will accommodate individuals with mobility needs. Often, accessible elements cannot be easily retrofitted or integrated into existing facilities. Kendyl and Friends Foundation provides playgrounds that include fully accessible flooring, inclusive play towers that are accessible via ramps, double-bay wheelchair swings, mirage/inclusive swings, wheelchair accessible merry-go-round, sensory/communication, and other adaptive, ADA, inclusive equipment.
