2012 is the Summer of Playgrounds!
We are proud to be working with local families, the Parks & Recreation Department, and policy makers to raise funds and build a Playground for All at Cuddy Family Midtown Park that will serve all Anchorage families. This will be the first 100% accessible playground in Alaska, a central community play space, and certified Boundless Playground. Children with disabilities will be able to play independently in a safe environment, and parents and grandparents with disabilities will be able to play with their children, without barriers, in Anchorage's crown-jewel park.
We are also raising funds to install a new destination playground at North Russian Jack Springs Park as part of a celebration in honor of Superintendent Carol Comeau.
