Progress Park
Designed to improve child's Play Power

A private play area where children of varying levels and abilities can enjoy a sensory rich playground with stations designed to encourage social interaction and the development of specific skills.

Progress Park has several sections of interaction.

1. Our “Towers of Play” equipment have been created out of SAFE and NON-TOXIC Southern Pine Lumber, treated with non-arsenic preservative, for a sturdy and environmentally safe structure.

2. Our open play areas are available for planned activities, basketball, football, soccer, hopscotch, four square and hoola-hooping etc.

3. A picnic area is provided for families and groups bringing their own meals. Glass containers are prohibited and aluminum containers can not be left unattended.

PLAY MATTERS!!! Play is a fundamental joy of childhood. Play areas such as ours are often the way that children learn to navigate their world. Progress Park benefits children with and without disabilities by providing opportunities for all children to play together side-by-side. More than five million children in the United States alone have some type of disability that makes it hard or impossible for them to enjoy traditional playgrounds. These children often do not get to experience what most other children take for granted. Furthermore, playgrounds are not made enjoyably accessible by simply removing architectural barriers or by adding a transfer platform or ramp. It's not just about the elements in the play area. A child's perception of their play space is the combination of the real space (the physical playground) and the imaginary world they create while interacting with other children. With that in mind, we created activities that can be enjoyed by children with physical disabilities without having to leave their support equipment behind.

Conventional play spaces rarely meet the needs of children with sensory disabilities, like visual impairment, who benefit from sensory-rich play activities. Children with development disabilities like autism need playground structures and activities where they can play on their own, while children with Down syndrome benefit from balancing activities. By understanding the diverse needs of children with different kinds of abilities and disabilities, we created extraordinary play environments where children of all abilities can play together.

Rules: All users of Progress Park have to sign in before entering the park. Parents are responsible for supervising the safety their own children. Parents are to be conscious of the fact that we service children with social and developmental delays. Please handle all undesirable situations kindly and calmly. The use of loud voices and disrespectful language can become grounds for discontinuing your right to use the park.

Donations based development- So far we have invested $10,000 in the play area. The project will continue to be expanded, as funding is available. Donations by users will be deposited monthly from our donation jug. Businesses making large donations will be rewarded with an advertisement of their services on the perimeter fencing of the play area.

Our play area is wheel chair assessable- As funds allow, we will purchase equipment to enhance playablity.
