MY FRIENDS PLACE

What is a Boundless Playground?
A Boundless Playground is a place where children and adults of ALL abilities can come together and experience the wonder of play in a safe, barrier-free environment. It's where children can develop their skills and strengths while exploring sensory-rich opportunities through side-by-side play with their friends.

Just as importantly, family members who may have difficulty with mobility can also easily join in the fun.

Boundless Playgrounds ®, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, helps communities like ours, create these play environments that address the needs of ALL children including those with physical, sensory or developmental disabilities.

In short, having a Boundless Playground means the difference between just watching or being able to join in the fun!


Why Does South Windsor
Need this Playground?

We have over 2,500 elementary school aged children in town - over 250 of them with special needs. Yet there are no accessible playgrounds in South Windsor. During the day, our special needs children learn, play and interact along side their typically-abled peers. Why would we exclude these children at the end of the day just because the school bell rings?

A Boundless Playground will provide self-directed, rigorous and challenging activities to help EVERY child have fun and build friendships.

This playground will be intergenerational by allowing grandparents, parents or caregivers who might have physical challenges to supervise or actively participate with the children.

My Friend's Place will offer an environment where EVERYONE can laugh, play, learn and grow together, regardless of ability.
