Kendyl and Friends Playground, Arc of Greater Louisville Campus
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 and require specialized equipment that allows those needs to properly be met. Currently, there are an abundance of playgrounds scattered around the state of Kentucky but very few of those playgrounds can accommodate the needs of disabled children. 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.
Therefore, we are excited to announce that Kendyl and Friends Foundation has partnered with The Arc of Greater Louisville Area, The City of Hillview, Abby Roeller, and the Board of Education to bring “KENDYL AND FRIENDS PLAYGROUND, THE ARC OF GREATER LOUISVILLE CAMPUS” to the area!
This AMAZING 13,000 Square Foot, FENCED IN playground will feature a Custom MEGA Tower with ramp structures, an Alta glide, inclusive, wheelchair accessible merry go round, wheelchair accessible swing, inclusive swings, buddy rocker, musical instruments, communication/sensory panels, wheelchair accessible, pour in place flooring, and many more cool inclusive playground options to ensure a safe and INCLUSIVE place for children of ALL ABILITIES!!
To date, Kendyl and Friends Foundation has been able to provide five fully inclusive, handicap accessible, playgrounds in an area where resources for children with disabilities are scarce. We operate solely from donations from generous donors and grants that allow a person who has never experienced a playground, the ability to participate with their peers in a safe environment and one in which is designed to suit their individual needs. Integrated play helps in an abundance of ways: development of fine and gross motor skills, social skills, independence, self-esteem, cerebral functions, physical strength, receptive communication skills, coordination, and balance.
Our team works to create a better balance of opportunities for ALL children. Our mission is unique, and we have a strong record of dedicated volunteers who provide leadership and financial support to our programs. We are driven by a spirit of collaboration and guided by a result-based framework. We provide better, safer, and more opportunities for special needs/disabled children that allow them to be more active in their community.
Your generous donations will allow our Foundation and Partners the opportunity to provide a safe environment for ALL persons with disabilities in the Greater Louisville area. This playground will provide children of all abilities the chance to participate in outdoor play with their peers, increase fine/gross motor skills, social skills, independence, self-esteem, cerebral functions, physical strength, receptive communications skills, coordination, and balance. Our playgrounds will last for years to come. It will create a domino effect that encourages citizens in the community to educate themselves of the lack of accessibility regarding playground equipment throughout the state and even throughout the country.
No donation is too big or too small to make this dream become a reality! ALL DONATIONS GIVEN ON THIS POST WILL BE DEDICATED TO THIS PROJECT!
