Build a splash park at Mary’s Magical Place
The Issue
Mary’s Magical Place in Hendersonville, Tennessee, is more than just an ordinary playground; it is a symbol of joy, inclusion, and community spirit. What makes it truly special is that it was built as an all-inclusive playground, allowing children of all abilities to play together. However, with the sweltering summer temperatures becoming more intense each year, the children in our community are in desperate need of a safe space to cool down and play. This is why a splash park would be a perfect and much-needed addition to Mary’s Magical Place.
A splash park would not only enhance children’s play experience but also ensure that all children, regardless of their physical abilities, can enjoy water play in a secure and accessible environment. Unlike traditional pools, splash parks do not pose drowning risks and are maintenance-friendly. Moreover, splash parks are cost-effective, environmentally friendly, and have been proven to attract more people, thereby increasing foot traffic and benefiting local businesses.
Beyond the practical benefits, the splash park will further our community’s commitment to inclusivity by providing a free recreational option for families of all economic backgrounds. Communities across the nation such as Auburn, California and Monona, Wisconsin have already embraced splash parks with great success, offering more fun and vibrancy to neighborhoods similar to ours.
The success of Mary’s Magical Place was a result of community support and hard work, and adding a splash park requires our collective action once more. We propose funding this addition through community fundraising drives, local business sponsorships, and applying for grants dedicated to public health and recreational development. Let’s come together again to create another legacy for our children and future generations.
Sign this petition to show your support for the addition of a splash park at Mary’s Magical Place and help us enhance our community’s recreational facilities. Let’s give our children the chance to beat the heat while promoting inclusivity and community spirit.
