We Want Accessible Playgrounds

We Want Accessible Playgrounds

The Issue

Elkhart, Indiana has zero accessible playgrounds for our children. ADA, 1990 and revisions in 2010 require playgrounds to be accessible to disabled children in very specific ways.  For information on the regulations and laws, please review the article at http://disabledinelkhart.blogspot.com/2016/12/where-are-accessible-playgrounds-in.html

The picture is that of Taylor's Dream Playground in Fort Wayne, IN which is rated 16th in the world for accessibility.  We can do this too.

Let's get the Mayor and Common Council to act in a significant way to make our playgrounds accessible as law provides.  

Please Sign the petition which will be delivered to Mayor Tim Neese and the Elkhart City Common Council when completed.  

We need as many signatures and comments as possible

If you want to donate toward an all inclusive city playground please go here: Build An Accessible Playground
