The City proposes building a quality all-inclusive playground at Jollyman Park, one of the City’s largest parks. It is an inviting space with a green lawn, a looped pathway system, and beautiful large trees imparting a serene quality. The playground will provide about 0.85 acre in core play area plus a landscaped buffer area at its edges. The new playground will be conveniently located along the Stelling Road frontage, immediately adjacent to the existing parking lot area.
The project aims to incorporate the best supportive play theories and practices to appeal to people of all ages and abilities. The design will support recreation and social interaction for people with autism, sensory challenges, cognitive, developmental, and physical disabilities, and those without special needs. The project leverages public grant funding with private donations to maximize the playground design to be reimagined and renovated to meet AIPG guidelines.
