The View from the Playground: Colorado Children of All Abilities Play Together!
When Shane’s Inspiration works with a community, we start with the very first step: dreams. After capturing the design dreams of the residents (most especially our cute end-users: kids), we encourage and support communities to continue on to the final step: social inclusion programming.
The City of Fort Collins, Colorado, just announced funding for schools to take field trips to their Inspiration Playground, which we designed with their community and opened in 2007. They are a great example of bringing it full circle and realizing the ultimate dream of these playgrounds: that they transform into classrooms where children with and without disabilities learn from and with each other.
