Henry County Conservation Department is raising funds to install an ADA-compliant, all-inclusive playground near our Nature Center and Top-of-Hill campground area. This play area will include two separate playgrounds: one designed for ages 2-5 and a larger area for ages 5-12 — both with sensory and active play components accessible to multiple levels of mobility.
The glider is wheelchair accessible and provides seating for up to 7 people. The 360 Loop is designed to allow children who use mobility devises to use the upper body to climb to new heights and increases equitable play for all children. The Nido Spinner and Niche Capsules provide relief for children with sensory processing differences. Included will be whimsical nature themed musical play components and educational panels.
We are excited to share with you the opportunity to partner with us on this amazing project. Partners may give a general donation or sponsor a piece of the playground.
Sponsorship levels are:
Diamond — greater than $100,000
Platinum- $50,000 to $100,000
Gold- $25,000 to $49,999
Silver- $10,000 to $24,999
